Celebrity Lineup Announced for L.A. Wildfire Benefit Concert

Hayley Williams, Finneas, and Lucy Dacus are set to headline a benefit concert aimed at supporting the Los Angeles community in the aftermath of devastating wildfires. The event, organised by G*VE A F*CK LA, will take place on February 5th at the iconic Hollywood Palladium. The star-studded lineup also includes Fred Armisen, Jenny Lewis, St. Vincent, The Linda Lindas, and more.

The benefit concert, titled “Benefit and Auction for LA Wildfire Relief,” is a testament to artists coming together to aid in the healing process following the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Produced by Live Nation, the event promises intimate performances from a range of talented musicians, such as MUNA, Courtney Barnett, Kevin Morby, Perfume Genius, and Reggie Watts, among others. Renowned actor John C. Reilly is set to host the evening, adding to the star power of the event.

In addition to the musical performances, the concert will kick off with DJ sets from Fat Tony and Harmony Tividad, setting the tone for a memorable night of entertainment and philanthropy. Tickets for the show will be available for purchase starting on January 28th, with 100% of the net ticket proceeds going towards local organisations dedicated to wildfire relief efforts in the area.

Furthermore, attendees will be encouraged to participate in a plant-based food drive by donating plant-based canned goods at the event. The donations will support communities in need and align with the initiative to promote sustainability and environmental consciousness amidst the ongoing recovery process.

In a similar vein, a second benefit concert, FireAid, is scheduled for January 30th, with a lineup featuring esteemed artists like Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Billie Eilish, Green Day, and more. The event aims to raise funds for rebuilding communities affected by the wildfires and implementing measures to prevent future fire disasters in Southern California.

For those unable to attend the concerts in person, there will be live broadcasts and streaming options available on various platforms, ensuring that the charitable efforts reach a wider audience. The widespread support and participation from celebrities and the community alike highlight the resilience and unity demonstrated in the face of natural disasters.

The wildfires that ravaged parts of Los Angeles in recent weeks have spurred a collective response from individuals, organisations, and public figures alike. As communities continue to rebuild and recover, the outpouring of support through benefit concerts and relief efforts serves as a beacon of hope and solidarity in the ongoing recovery process.

As the music industry comes together to lend a helping hand, the power of unity and compassion shines through, showcasing the importance of community support in times of need. Through music and philanthropy, these benefit concerts aim to not only raise funds but also uplift spirits and bring solace to those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles.
