The music industry has come out in droves to celebrate the resilience and strength of Los Angeles after the devastating fires earlier this month. Over 27 artists will perform as part of the FireAid Benefit Concert to raise money for fire relief for the recovering city.
In a first of its kind event, the over five-hour show will be available to watch live across 25 different streamers. Throughout the night artists will give tributes to first responders, perform covers of meaningful songs and collaborate with one another for a one-of-a-kind experience. Producers told TheWrap that they intend to place viewers at home inside the arena amidst the action.
Every donation from viewers watching live at home will be matched by LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife Connie. The event has already raised over $60 million from sponsorships and ticket sales alone.
