LOS ANGELES – Billie Eilish, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Joni Mitchell are among a star-studded group who will perform at a benefit concert later this month for wildfire relief and recovery, organizers announced Thursday.
“FireAid” will take place on January 30 at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, in the Los Angeles area, and features several artists with ties to California.
Tickets will go on sale Wednesday at noon through Ticketmaster, AEG announced. The money will go toward both short- and long-term aid, he said.
The Palisades and Eaton fires have killed at least 27 people and left tens of thousands displaced. The Los Angeles fire chief has said it will be one of the worst natural disasters in the city’s history.
Millions in donations have been made following the devastating fires, which destroyed approximately thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades and the Altadena and Pasadena area.
Steve Ballmer, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, who play at the Intuit Dome, pledged $15 million. Other celebrities and Hollywood and sports organizations have also donated, including the Walt Disney Corporation, which pledged $15 million.

the donations
Contributions and donations to FireAid will go to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and will be distributed under the guidance of the Annenberg Foundation, which is a philanthropic foundation, organizers say.
The money will go toward “short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters,” its website says.
In addition to ticket sales, donations can also be made on the FireAid website.
