The benefit concert, organized by Live Nation, AEG Presents, and the Irving Azoff family, aims to support families displaced by wildfires that began on January 7. The fires have claimed 24 lives and destroyed over 12,000 buildings in Los Angeles county.
While the official lineup remains unconfirmed, the Eagles' participation seems possible given their schedule. The band is currently performing their Las Vegas Sphere residency, which runs through April 12. Their calendar shows no conflicts with the January 30 FireAid date, as their next Sphere performance isn't until February 14.
The wildfires have significantly impacted the music industry, with Universal Music Group reporting more than 50 employees losing their homes. The Eagles' donation comes at a crucial time as relief organizations continue to support those affected by the ongoing disaster.
