Benefit Concert for Los Angeles Fire Victims to Be Held at Intuit Dome

Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome is set to host a benefit concert to help rebuild the communities affected by the devastating fires raging across the city. FIREAID, advertised as “an evening of music and solidarity,” will take place on Jan. 30.

Ticket information and performers will be announced in the coming days.

The event, produced by the Azoff family alongside Live Nation and AEG Presents, donate proceeds toward an organization created to rebuild Los Angeles infrastructure, as well as support displaced families and advance fire prevention technologies and strategies.

The catastrophic fires started earlier this week in the Pacific Palisades on the west side of Los Angeles, and quickly spread to other areas over the next few days, including Altadena, Studio City and Runyon Canyon. As of Friday, most of the fires were not contained and new ones, including one in Granada Hills, continued to ignite.

Estimates are that up to 350,000 people have been evacuated with more than 9,000 structures destroyed.  The fires are among the costliest natural disasters in the United States, with estimated damages to be up to $57 billion, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The music industry has been hard hit with more than 100 executives and artists losing their homes. Several have noted their losses on social media, including attorney Laurie Soriano and publicists Kim Grant and Lesley Zimmerman, as well as Zachary Cole Smith of the L.A. band DIIV. A document with more than 120 names of those who have lost their homes has been circulating with links to GoFundMe accounts for those who have set them up.

Additionally, a number of other resources are available for those who have lost their homes or need assistance in other ways. MusiCares and the Recording Academy have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support music professionals impacted by the crisis, making a combined pledge of $1 million to kick off the efforts. People who have worked in the music industry for more than five years may qualify for immediate assistance, including up to $1,500 in financial aid and $500 in food vouchers.
