Some of the biggest names in music took the stage in Los Angeles on Thursday for FireAid, a star-studded benefit concert aimed at helping those affected by recent wildfires in California.
The Kia Forum was packed as Green Day kicked off the night, later joined by Billie Eilish, who made a surprise appearance. Other high-profile performances included sets by Stevie Nicks, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Mayer, and No Doubt, as well as appearances by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Sting.
The event, organized to support both short-term relief and long-term fire prevention efforts, encouraged viewers to donate via text message or an online platform. Funds will be distributed with guidance from the Annenberg Foundation.
California’s wildfires have displaced thousands and caused widespread damage, prompting artists and organizers to come together in support of relief efforts.
With another FireAid concert scheduled, organizers hope to raise millions for recovery efforts and future fire mitigation programs.
