A star-studded line-up including the likes of P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Stevie Nicks has been set for the FireAid benefit concert on January 30 in Los Angeles.

The event is due to be held at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in the Californian city, and is dedicated to rebuilding communities that have been affected by wildfires.

Money raised from the event, which starts at 6pm local time, will also go towards supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California.

It will also feature performances from Billie Eilish and Finneas, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Rod Stewart, Sting, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, Tate McRae, and playing together for the first time, Dave Matthews and John Mayer.

Tickets for both concerts will go on sale from January 22 on Ticketmaster.

The event is being produced by Shelli, Irving, and the Azoff family, in conjunction with Live Nation and AEG Presents, and fans are encouraged to make donations during the event.

“Contributions made to FireAid will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation, for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters.

“The Annenberg Foundation, with decades of philanthropic leadership in our community, including rapid response, will help coordinate a team to direct funds for the greatest impact.

“All proceeds from the FireAid benefit concert at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum will go directly to the event’s designated beneficiaries, as the LA Clippers will be covering the millions in expenses associated with the vent.”

California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection states that the recent wildfires which began on January 7 have resulted in at least 25 fatalities and 40,695 acres of land being burned.
