Los Angeles (AP) – As the Los Angeles region continues its recovery from a series of exhausting wild fires, the compensation concert this week will gather millions for efforts to relieve relief.
Fireaid will be held in two places in Los Angeles and performers such as Billy Eilish, Jelly Roll, Peso Pluma, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joni Mitchell, Sting and Anderson .paak.
Everything came together in a few days.
Joel Gaineon of the Tenth Planet, which has drawn up many advantages, including America: The Honor Honor after September 11 and similar programs after Hurricane Katrina, Los Angeles Executive Director Jillian Zucker and producers Irring and Shelley Azoph точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно от Асошие Асошиейтед прес е казал какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво точно какво е Асошиейтед прес какво точно какво точно какво Exactly what exactly what exactly what the Associated Press told the Associated Press what exactly what exactly what exactly what exactly what exactly the Associated Press Press needs to do as a show like this.
The fires began on January 7th and by January 10, the team behind Fireaid – the Azoff family, in connection with Live Nation and AEG Presents, has announced a concert for benefit for January 30 at Intuit Dome. He quickly grew in size, taking over the nearby Kia forum.
Shelli Azoff was the catalyst.
“When it became clear that we would need it, I think we were just trying to comment. “What can we do?” And Shelley said we need to do everything we know how to do. We have to do the show, “says Irving Azof. “Jillian Zucker, CEO of the Clippers and Shelli organization, were on the phone a few minutes later. And here we are. “
“Shelley Azoffered in the morning on January 9, about 48 hours after the fire began,” Zucker recalled. “They had already reached out to several music performers in their circle for the concert of the idea of benefit and based on this positive answer, they wanted to know if Intuit Dome could be available.”
So, she offered them the home arena of Clippers.
“Twenty-four hours later, it became clear that we may need Kia Forum for rehearsal space. And by the weekend, it turned out that from a stable desire to help, the number of acts interested in participating will exceed the capabilities of a building, “she says.
The next step was to make telephone calls, corporate sponsorship lining and the show. The support was immediate.
“Suddenly there were two shows instead of one because we had so many people voluntarily,” adds Irving Azof.
Billy Eilis, Grace Abrams, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lille Baby, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Tate Makri and Earth, Wind and Fire will be filled in the intuic dome.
Alanis Morisset, Anderson .paak, Dawes, Graham Nash, Green Day, John Fogerty, Joni Mitchell, undoubtedly, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stephen Stirs, and Jews, Black Crowes, DAVE KIA Forum.
Fireaid will also include special appearances and surprises.
As they assembled the squad, Irving Azof said that “he gravitates to:” He swings more in the forum and pops up more on Intuit. ”
The reservation of California talent – more special, groups, inextricably linked to southern California, such as the red hot chilli peppers and without a doubt – was a priority. Galen says there was such a great interest in participating, they actually had to divert the artists because the shows were completely booked so quickly.
Each artist will perform two to four songs. They are encouraged to turn to the room from the stage.
As for what viewers can expect, Irving Azoffs simply says, “One of the best shows is ever television.”
With 28 artists, the show will last for five hours. To ensure that any place and viewers at home can see any performance, the kits are arranged. The show will start at 6:00 pm the Pacific Ocean at the Kia Forum; Early present at Intuit Dome will watch those on live screens. Then, when both shows have begun, they will cut back -behind: perform live and then a broadcast on the screens.
When live performances end at the forum, these participants can stick and watch the final sets broadcast by the dome. That way, “it’s never a boring moment,” Galen says. “No,” let’s stop and watch the scene change in 10 minutes. “
Rehearsals begin on Tuesday and will continue on Thursday during the day, just before the show.
There will be celebrity speakers between performances and non-meaning.
“We will have packages that are for both people who have lost their homes and firefighters and the first reacting,” Galen adds. One of the speakers will be a firefighter and the firefighters will attend the concerts.
“There are at least 2000 seats that go to the first reacting, firefighters, police officers and people who have lost their homes,” says Irving Azof. He says some corporate sponsors provide places to those who have lost their homes.
There are plans for emergencies if the risk of fire was to be renewed, Gallal assures, but “we do not feel that the show is in danger at the moment. We do not think that any danger of fire is nowhere close to the places where we make the show. “
Those who cannot attend the concerts or watch live feed can contribute donations now through fireaidla.org. The connection will also be on the screening screen, during performances, speakers and packages. “100% of all receipts will help recover,” Galen says.
“This is a donation text,” says Irving Azof.
Los Angeles owner Clippers Steve Balmer and his wife, Connie, will meet all the donations made during the live broadcast, doubled in receipts.
A 501 (C) (3) has been set up and the contribution to Fireaid will be distributed according to the Annberg Foundation, which with Fireaid has collected a small committee to advise.
They are reviewing the funds of relief that currently exist, and “further explore the many effective non -profit organizations responsible now,” Zucker says. “They have also contacted representatives from previous efforts to restore places like Maui and Sandy Hook to understand the long -term needs and problems associated with devastation.”
Irring Azoff says Zucker called Wallis Aenberg, president and chairman of the Aenberg Foundation Council, who immediately agreed to help. They have consulted a number of people, including billionaire developer Rick Caruso.
“It was very important for us to find people who were familiar with the right organizations. So that we can put the money in the right place, “Shelley Azofls adds. “I think we are all really committed to getting the money from people who have been very affected. And personally it means a lot to me to bring it to people they have not thought about. And these are the people who no longer work because the business is also decreasing. “
“One thing by one,” says Irving Azof. “First, we have to do the show and raise the money. But the pouring from the community and the corporate support we received for the event will already tell you, north of $ 50 million. “
