The Intuit Dome in Los Angeles will host a benefit concert to help rebuild communities affected by the devastating fires ravaging the city. FIREAID, billed as “a night of music and solidarity,” will take place on January 30.
Ticket information and performing artists will be announced in the coming days.
The event, produced by the Azoff family in conjunction with Live Nation and AEG Presents, will donate its proceeds to an organization created to rebuild Los Angeles’ infrastructure, as well as support displaced families and advance fire prevention technologies and strategies.
The catastrophic fires began Monday (January 6) in Pacific Palisades on the west side of Los Angeles and quickly spread to other areas in the following days, including Altadena, Studio City and Runyon Canyon. As of Friday, most of the fires were uncontained and new ones continued to ignite, including one in Granada Hills.
An estimated 350,000 people have been evacuated and more than 9,000 structures have been destroyed. The fires are among the costliest natural disasters in the United States, with damages estimated at up to $57 billion, according to the Los Angeles Times.
