The devastating wildfires that have swept through Los Angeles in recent weeks have left a heartbreaking toll on the community. Over 40,000 acres have burned, more than 12,000 structures have been destroyed, and 28 lives have been tragically lost. It’s one of the worst natural disasters the city has ever faced.
In response, the music industry is coming together to host FireAid, a benefit concert aimed at supporting those affected and helping the city rebuild.
FireAid is a charity concert scheduled for January 30 in Los Angeles, with performances taking place at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum. The event is organized by big names in the music world in partnership with Live Nation and AEG Presents. It aims to raise money to help displaced families, rebuild vital infrastructure, and invest in better wildfire prevention technologies.
