Some of the biggest names in music came together on Jan. 30 for the FireAid benefit concert that raised money for Los Angeles-area wildfire relief efforts.

FireAid was broadcast and streamed live on Apple Music, Apple TV+, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA+, Netflix/Tudum, Paramount+, Prime Video, the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps and YouTube. It was also shown at select AMC Theatre locations in the U.S.

Now, you can watch the full, six-hour event on Youtube:

The performers

Calgary pop singer Tate McRae performed at the Intuit Dome alongside stars Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Sting and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell performed at the Kia Forum along with stars Anderson .Paak, Dawes, Graham Nash, Green Day, John Fogerty, No Doubt, Pink, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stephen Stills, Stevie Nicks, the Black Crowes and John Mayer.

Mayer and Dave Matthews were originally scheduled to perform live together for the first time, but on Jan. 29 the official Dave Matthews Band Instagram account announced that "due to a critical illness in the family," Matthews will no longer take the stage.

Not just a concert

Between the performances, there were celebrity and non-celebrity speakers, including those who lost their homes, first responders and firefighters.

Those who couldn't attend the concerts or watch the live feed could contribute donations via FireAidLA.org during the broadcast.

All of the proceeds will go to those affected. A 501(c)(3) was set up, and contributions to FireAid will be distributed under the Annenberg Foundation.
