British stars Sir Rod Stewart and Sting were among the singers slated to perform at a charity concert to aid the wildfire relief efforts in California, alongside US stars Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Pink and Katy Perry. The “one night only” event, dubbed FireAid, will take place at the Intuit Dome and the adjacent Kia Forum in Los Angeles on January 30, as well as being broadcast and streamed live.
The line-up also features Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks and 10-time Grammy winner Joni Mitchell, alongside Gwen Stefani, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lil Baby, Stephen Stills and Tate McRae. Two-time Oscar-winning musician Eilish will perform with her brother Finneas O’Connell, while the concert will also mark the first time Dave Matthews and John Mayer will perform live together.
Sir Rod, who returned from his home in Los Angeles to the UK permanently after three decades in 2023, will also perform after celebrating his 80th birthday earlier this month. The concert will “raise money for rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California”, organisers said.
It will be broadcast and live-streamed on many platforms, including Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Netflix, Paramount+ and Prime Video. Tickets for both concerts will go on sale from Wednesday on Ticketmaster and more artists will be announced at a later date, organisers added.
