Some of music’s biggest stars united on Thursday to support Southern California communities impacted by the wildfires\u00a0that started spreading earlier in January.<\/p>\n

The FireAid benefit concert, a one-night-only event, was held at the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with performances at each venue.<\/p>\n

Billie Eilish<\/strong>, Gracie Abrams<\/strong>, Jelly Roll<\/strong>, Katy Perry<\/strong>, Lady Gaga<\/strong>, Lil Baby<\/strong>, Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong>, Peso Pluma<\/strong>, Rod Stewart<\/strong>, Stevie Wonder<\/strong>, Sting<\/strong>, Tate McRae<\/strong> and Earth, Wind and Fire<\/strong> were among the stars who performed at Intuit Dome.<\/p>\n

Taking the stage at Kia Forum were Alanis Morissette<\/strong>, Anderson .Paak<\/strong>,\u00a0Dawes<\/strong>, Graham Nash<\/strong>, Green Day<\/strong>, John Fogerty<\/strong>, Joni Mitchell<\/strong>,\u00a0John Mayer<\/strong>, No Doubt<\/strong>, Pink<\/strong>, Red Hot Chili Peppers<\/strong>, Stephen Stills<\/strong>, Stevie Nicks <\/strong>and The Black Crowes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the musical highlights at the Intuit Dome:\u00a0Lady Gaga debuting a brand-new song she said she and her fianc\u00e9,\u00a0Michael Polansky<\/strong>, wrote for the occasion; Gracie covering the Counting Crows<\/strong> hit “A Long December”; Tate covering the Crowded House <\/strong>song “Don’t Dream It’s Over”; Jelly Roll\u00a0singing\u00a0Bob Seger<\/strong>‘s “Hollywood Nights” with blink-182<\/strong>‘s Travis Barker<\/strong> on drums; and Sting teaming up with Stevie Wonder to perform\u00a0his hits “Higher Ground” and “Superstition.”<\/p>\n

At the Kia Forum, Billie joined Green Day for their song “Last Night on Earth”; Pink covered “Me and Bobby McGee,” made famous by Janis Joplin<\/strong>; John Mayer covered\u00a0Tom Petty<\/strong>‘s “Free Fallin'”; and the living members of Nirvana<\/strong> reunited to perform four of their songs with guest vocalists, including\u00a0Joan Jett<\/strong> and Dave Grohl<\/strong>‘s daughter Violet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The event, which\u00a0streamed live on\u00a0platforms including Disney+, Hulu, Tudum, Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Prime Video, raised funds for short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters.<\/p>\n
