Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and Joni Mitchell are among the performers slated to take the stage at FireAid, a benefit concert for Los Angeles-area wildfire relief.

FireAid was originally scheduled to take place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. It will now take place in two venues: the Intuit Dome and the adjacent Kia Forum on 30 January.

According to a press release, contributions to FireAid will “be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation, for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters … All proceeds from the FireAid benefit concert at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum will go directly to the event’s designated beneficiaries.”

The lineup also includes Stevie Nicks, Sting, Katy Perry, Lil Baby, Pink, Rod Stewart, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Gracie Abrams, Stephen Stills, Tate McRae and Earth, Wind & Fire.

More artists will be announced at a later date.

Since the wildfires started, celebrities and entertainment organizations have pledged millions to help those who have been displaced or lost their homes, including a $2.5 million contribution from Beyoncé to a newly launched LA Fire Relief Fund created by her charitable foundation, BeyGOOD.

FireAid will be broadcast and streamed live on Apple Music, Apple TV, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video, the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps and YouTube.
