A charity concert to raise funds for Los Angeles wildfire relief will be held in late January with a yet-to-be-announced lineup limited to musicians who call the greater LA area home.
The benefit concert dubbed FireAid is being organized by Live Nation, an entertainment company that also owns TicketMaster.
All proceeds will go towards “rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention technologies and strategies to ensure LA is better prepared for fire emergencies,” according to the Live Nation website.
The concert is set to be at the brand new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., but sources told TMZ that organizers are also considering moving it to the Kia Forum just down the street.
The Forum’s massive size may be more fit for the huge attendance the organizers are anticipating, the sources said.
There are supposedly only 24 slots available in the lineup even though more than 50 artists have expressed interest in participating, according to TMZ. Organizers are attempting to add extra slots to meet the overwhelming demand.
For those who can’t make it to California, the concert will reportedly be live-streamed, according to TMZ.
The Los Angeles wildfires have torn through the county and displaced thousands. Parts of the county closest to the Palisades and Eaton fires have been completely decimated as firefighters continue to try and douse the flames. The Hurst fire is nearly contained, but the others rage on as high winds return.
So far, 25 people have been killed and dozens are still missing.
