More big stars are announced for the upcoming concert held to spread awareness and raise funds for Los Angeles residents affected by the catastrophic wildfires.

AceShowbiz - In light of the recent devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles, a stellar lineup of music artists is set to perform at the FireAid Benefit Concert to aid the victims. The concert will take place on January 30 at two neighboring venues in Inglewood, California - the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome.

Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, and Peso Pluma are the latest artists to join an already impressive roster of performers. Joining them are previously announced stars like Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Green Day, Katy Perry, Stevie Nicks, Jelly Roll, and No Doubt.

Other notable artists such as Alanis Morissette, Anderson .Paak, Dawes, Graham Nash, John Fogerty, Pink, Joni Mitchell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rod Stewart, Sting, Tate McRae, Dave Matthews, and John Mayer will also lend their voices to this noble cause.

The Eagles have contributed $2.5 million for the concert's cause, further amplifying the event's impact.

All proceeds from the concert will go toward rebuilding communities decimated by the wildfires. The funds, managed by the Annenberg Foundation, will be used for both immediate relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters.

The concert will be broadcast internationally across multiple platforms, including AMC Theatres, iHeartRadio, Apple Music, Netflix, Paramount+, Prime Video, Max, SiriusXM, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube. The event will also be streamed live to over 860 radio stations across the United States.

Tickets for this one-night-only concert will be available on Ticketmaster starting January 22 at 12 PM PT. Those wishing to make further donations can do so via FireAidLA.org, with updates on tickets, sponsorships, and donation opportunities available after signing up at the website.

The impact of the wildfires has been staggering. Over 100,000 Los Angeles residents were forced to evacuate, with at least 24 confirmed dead. The fires, including the Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire, have collectively burned tens of thousands of acres, destroying countless homes in their wake.

High-profile figures and companies have stepped up to the plate to help those affected. Warner Bros. pledged $15 million, Sony offered $5 million, and Amazon chipped in $10 million. Celebrities like Eva Longoria and Jamie Lee Curtis have also contributed $1 million each.

Music industry mogul Irving Azoff is producing the FireAid Benefit Concert in collaboration with Live Nation and AEG Presents. The concert's timing is notable, as it will air just days before the Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown LA on February 2.
