Los Angeles-born Billie Eilish will perform for FireAid.
Live music offers more than just the chance for a fun night out. From watching pop phenoms hold a stadium audience in the palm of their hand to witnessing lyrical intimacy at a cozy theater or thrashing in a mosh pit at a punk club, concerts are ground zero for moments of catharsis and euphoria. It’s also where community comes together, just as Los Angeles is doing in the aftermath of the Eaton and Palisades Fires. In the coming weeks, you can find Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Blink-182 and more artists taking to the stage in the name of rebuilding our city. Read on for concerts happening across town that you can attend to support L.A. wildfire relief.
