Famous artists to perform at FireAid concerts in Los Angeles

Hollywood’s biggest musicians are poised to perform at a fire aid benefit concert in the heart of Los Angeles today.

Just three weeks after several wildfires broke out across different regions in California, destroying thousands of homes, A-list performers have signed on to help raise funds for those affected by putting on star-studded shows across two iconic venues.

It’s a pop lover’s dream at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams and Olivia Rodrigo joining the likes of Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder and Sting on the line-up. Jelly Roll, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lil Baby, Peso Pluma and Tate McRae are also on the bill.

Meanwhile, reports suggest there’ll be “special guest appearances and surprises” at the shows, with unconfirmed speculation British singer Harry Styles may make an appearance.

In the US, the event is being live streamed across most streaming platforms, including Netflix and Disney+, while in Australia, locals can tune in via FireAid’s live stream on YouTube.

We’ll also bring you key highlights and updates here when it kicks off at 2pm AEDT today.

Money raised as part of the FireAid benefit concert, as well as direct donations made via the website, will be distributed by Annenberg Foundation – a charity that provides support to non-profit organisations.
