Many of the artists involved have roots in Southern California, such as Eilish, who was born in Los Angeles and Stefani, who grew up in Anaheim.
The shows are being produced by Irving and Shelli Azoff in conjunction with Live Nation and AEG Presents.
Contributions made to FireAid at fireaidla.org 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 and the LA Clippers, which calls the Intiut Dome home, will cover the millions in expenses associated with the event, organizers said.
The LA wildfires are among the most destructive and costly in state history.
