Billie Eilish to play charity concert for LA wildfire victims

The pop star will be playing with her brother, Finneas

A charity raising money for people affected by the Los Angeles wildfires has announced a star-studded benefit concert to take place later this month.

The event will take place at two LA venues, with each show having a different line-up - one headlined by Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas and the other by pop legend Lady Gaga.

The charity organisers, FireAid, have said that funds will go to short-term help and long-term efforts to prevent future fire disasters.

The gigs are both scheduled to take place on 30 January, and will be available to stream online for those who can't make it in-person.

Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, are lined up to play the Kia Forum show, with Gracie Abrams, Katy Perry, folk legend Joni Mitchell, and more.

Over at the Intuit Dome, Lady Gaga will be joined by Lil Baby and Pink, alongside many other artists.

FireAid says that the cost of hiring the venues has been covered by the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.

Lady Gaga will also be headlining

Billie Eilish is from LA and has spoken on social media about the impact of the wildfires.

Writing on Instagram, she said that the area of Altadena in particular "is very close to our hearts... it was the backyard of our childhoods, and the families, businesses, nonprofits, and musicians there remain cornerstones in our lives".

Last year, Billie had the fifth best selling album in the UK.
