Celebrity powerhouses Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish will headline a benefit concert for those affected by the devastating California wildfires. The FireAid event, scheduled for January 30, also features Jelly Roll, Lil Baby, Tate McRae, and Gwen Stefani.
The lineup is still growing with rumored appearances from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, and Gracie Abrams. Proceeds will support rebuilding infrastructure, displaced families, and fire prevention technologies.
This month’s wildfires have claimed 25 lives and left 38 missing, with over 12,000 structures destroyed or damaged. The event has garnered significant donations, including $2.5m from The Eagles. Other celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Lee Curtis have contributed major sums to relief efforts.
Both Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish have personal connections to the affected areas, with Lady Gaga having worked with the Red Cross in 2018 after evacuating her home due to wildfires.
