Plans for the FireAid concert were first announced on Januar 10. Billed as “an evening of music and solidarity,” proceeds from the concerts will be distributed with the help of the Annenberg Foundation, and will span creating an organization to rebuild Los Angeles’s infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and preventing future fire disasters. All costs of the event will be covered by the LA Clippers, who play at the Intuit Dome.
The news of the lineup comes more than a week after dangerous fires first broke out in Pacific Palisades — after which more blazes emerged and spread rapidly through other parts of the city — burning countless structures and forcing tens of thousands of residents to evacuate their homes for safety reasons.
At least 25 people have died so far in the destruction.The concert is just one of many ways the music industry has stepped up to support victims of the fires amid the crisis.
ASCAP, Guitar Center Music Foundation, MusiCares, the Recording Academy and more organizations have busied themselves with the creation of emergency funds and resources for those affected, while Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group, and more have made sizable donations to the cause.
The entertainment industry has been hit particularly hard by the catastrophe, as numerous executives and artists — including stars such as Jhené Aiko, Mandy Moore and Tina Knowles — have reported losing their homes, studios and recording equipment to the fires. Several events in the area have also been canceled, including most Grammy week gatherings (the actual awards are still expected to go on as scheduled February 2), while the Critics Choice Awards have been postponed to January 26.
