A slew of musicians have agreed to perform at two separate venues in Los Angeles County for Fire Aid, a benefit to support the victims of the recent fires that hit LA last week.
Billie Eilish and Finneas, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rod Stewart, Sting, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, Tate McRae, Dave Matthews and John Mayer (performing together for the first time) are just a few of the performers who have signed up to play at the Kia Forum and the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
The one-night-only shows will be held on Thursday, January 30. Its purpose is not just to raise money to rebuild the communities destroyed by the fires, but also to support efforts to prevent future fire disasters.

It will be very difficult for fans not to hear and see these top stars as it will be broadcast and streamed live on Apple Music, Apple TV, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudom, Paramount+, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube.
It will also be screened in select AMC Theatre locations in 70 US markets for those of you who want to take it in on the biggest screen possible.

Why two venues?
Despite only the biggest names being listed, the word is the original desire to have 12-20 artists had blossomed to over 50 wanting to join the effort. That large number has yet to be confirmed.
But with two venues suddenly required, there was no better fit than the iconic Forum and the newly built Intuit Dome in Inglewood. Not only are they less than a mile away from each other which will come in handy for organizers and broadcasters, but they are each owned by billionaire and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who is no stranger to the boogie.
While it would be interesting to see Billie and her brother at the new Intuit Dome, they've practically made a home for themselves at the Forum.
Since Kia bought the naming rights in 2022 only two other performers have rocked the former home of the Lakers more than the Eilishes. Billie and Finneas have rocked the joint a dozen times, but Mana has done it 13 and your mom's crush Harry Styles has sold it out 15 times.
It's also sweet to see Stevie Nicks' name on the early list of entertainers as Fleetwood Mac's 22 gigs at the Forum is second only to the Eagles' two dozen shows there.
Nicks has performed at the famed venue on the corner of Prairie and Manchester five times. That does not include the time in 2019 where she did a guest duet with Styles. So in total she's the queen of the Forum with 27 1/2 appearances.
Because the $2 billion Intuit Dome is less than a year old, there are no artists who have made the new, state-of-the-art venue theirs yet. Usher has performed there the most at a respectable four sold-out gigs.
And even though it's still a baby venue, it has already hosted two wonderful duets. You may remember Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan did "Hot To Go" there. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars also live debuted "Die With a Smile" when they opened the area.
This very special event is produced by Shelli, Irving, and the Azoff family, in conjunction with Live Nation and AEG Presents.
There's little doubt that the performers would have come out regardless of which parts of LA were effected, but the fact that both Pacific Palisades and Altadena were so profoundly destroyed probably added a bit more to the tragedy among the entertainment world as both LA neighborhoods were favorites among industry professionals.
The Palisades was one of the wealthiest areas of Los Angeles, home of established stars and industry honchos like Diane Warren and Tom Hanks whose houses there were reduced to ash.
Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles, who was also a victim of the fire called her small home her sanctuary as she shared a video on Instagram of dolphins swimming in the nearby Pacific.
"This is what I was looking at on my birthday this past weekend from my tiny little bungalow on the water in Malibu! It was my favorite place, my sanctuary, my sacred Happy Place. Now it is gone !!" she wrote.

Meanwhile parts of Altadena provided a more affordable diverse lifestyle where many creatives lived next door to Pasadena and the Rose Bowl.
On Wednesday the LA Times asked, "Fire charred two L.A. music utopias. Will they ever recover?"
Hip-hop artists Fat Tony and Madlib lost their Altadena homes. As did Sugarcult bassist Marko DeSantis, and Tsar's rhythm section Steve Coulter and Jeff Solomon. Bandsplain podcaster Yasi Salek was also one of the victims of the Eaton Fire that took out a chunk of Altadena.
