BUY TICKETS: FireAid Benefit Concerts at the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome (8:00pm)

We have even more fundraising going on this Thursday, Scenestar readers. Artists in the city are still busy raising money for those affected by the LA Fires and performing at venues all around town with our title for Show of the Night going to FireAid! The Clippers and other promoters in the city have teamed up for a mega fundraising series of concerts tonight at Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum starting at 6 p.m. PST in Inglewood with funds to be dedicated to helping rebuild communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California.

FireAid, an evening of music and solidarity, will include performances by Billie Eilish and Finneas, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gracie Abrams, Green Day, No Doubt, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rod Stewart, Sting, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, Tate McRae, Anderson .Paak, Alanis Morissette, Dawes, Graham Nash, John Fogerty, Olivia Rodrigo, Nirvana, Peso Pluma, Stevie Wonder, The Black Crowes, and performing together for the first time together, Dave Matthews and John Mayer.

Fans across the globe will be able to make contributions to the cause, as FireAid will be broadcast and streamed live on Apple Music and the Apple TV app, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudom, Paramount+, Prime Video, and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, exclusively on “LIFE with John Mayer,” Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube, and at select AMC Theatre locations in 70 US markets. This is the direct YouTube link to watch live starting at 7 p.m. PST.
