The music industry has come out in droves to celebrate the resilience and strength of Los Angeles after the devastating fires earlier this month. Nearly 30 artists performed 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 was available to watch live across 25 different streamers — but if you missed the live event, you can still catch up. Throughout the night artists gave tributes to first responders, performed covers of meaningful songs and collaborated with one another for a one-of-a-kind experience. Producers told TheWrap that they intended 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 raised over $60 million from sponsorships and ticket sales alone before the show even kicked off.
