FireAid, a star-studded benefit concert featuring top artists like Billie Eilish and Joni Mitchell, aims to support fire relief efforts in Los Angeles. The concert, divided into two arenas to accommodate its extensive lineup, is expected to raise significant funds, with over $60 million already collected from ticket sales and corporate sponsorships. Donations will be directed by the Annenberg Foundation for both immediate relief and long-term initiatives. The rapid planning, initiated by Irving Azoff and major concert promoters, illustrates the urgency of addressing the fire crisis in Southern California.
Organizers said that they would distribute donations with the advice of the Annenberg Foundation and that aid will be distributed both for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California.
Planning for the concert came together extraordinarily quickly, spearheaded by Irving Azoff, a longtime manager and power broker in music, and his family.
The benefit concert will begin at 9 p.m. Eastern time, 6 p.m. Pacific time, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., where Mitchell, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day are among the acts scheduled to perform.
In the days leading up to the show, organizers have said that they had already raised more than $60 million from ticket sales and corporate sponsorships.
