This week's fire benefit concerts include Local Natives, Cannons, Hawthorne Heights, Dustin Wong, and more. As more benefit concerts for victims of the Los Angeles fires get announced, we'll continue to update our master list and share a weekly list of benefit shows in L.A.
<p>Tickets to FireAid at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum will go on sale January 22. The concerts will be broadcast and streamed live to raise money for communities devastated by wildfires in Southern California.</p>
<p>With Grimy Goods based in Pasadena, CA, and much of our community and friends in Altadena, the Eaton Fire has not only burned our vibrant community, including our daughter’s school, but it has burned a hole in my heart. I’m sure many of you reading this feel the same.</p>
<p>Additional performances include Digable Planets, Pretenders, CAKE, Mt. Joy, Jackson Browne, The Beach Boys, and more. The festival will also introduce the California Surf Club—a first-of-its-kind fine-dining and full-service membership club located on the festival grounds.</p>
<p>David Bowie tribute at Zebulon, DREAMPUNK at Gold-Diggers, Mary Lattimore residency at Zebulon, San Holo Hollywood Palladium, Elysian Fields at Moroccan Lounge; Incubus, The Lumineers, Cage the Elephant, The Offspring and more at Kia Forum. </p>
<p>The first “3 Best New Songs” of the year (2025) + 15 others we enjoyed. Our top 3 picks are a bit alt-rock, a tad lo-fi indie fused with hip-hop, and a sweet serving of effervescing singer-songwriter vibes. Hit play.</p>
<p>To name a few: St. Vincent, Fontaines D.C., Jamie xx, Dua Saleh, CSS, Junior Varsity, Tank and the Bangas, Karen y Los Remedios, Talib Kweli, Glass Spells, GZA, Kills Birds, Death From Above 1979, Big Black Delta and more.</p>
<p>This event is not your typical concert nor is it designed to cater to the masses. It’s a celebration for the kids and families in Compton, as well as the community of Watts. The unique focus of giving back to the community is what sets it apart. And on this evening, the stars sure shined bright on and off stage. </p>
<p>It wouldn’t quite be Christmas in L.A. without this beloved festival. For many, the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas is an event we grew up with and, as kids, dreamed of attending. The Smashing Pumpkins, 311, Franz Ferdinand, The Linda Lindas, BBY, and more lit up the Forum like a big ole rockin’ Christmas tree. </p>
<p>The 2025 West Coast Picnic is dubbed A Roots Picnic Experience: Class of ’95. The nostalgic event will feature a continuous set from The Roots featuring Lil’ Kim, Method Man & Redman, DJ Quik, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and many more.</p>
<p>Fousheé graced the stage in a black leather two-piece, Coyote Ugly-style, with her blond hair swinging and a Fender Stratocaster in hand. She was a force to be reckoned with, showcasing a killer stage presence and a clear goal: to bridge the gap between the alternative and R&B scenes while honoring her Jamaican heritage and her late grandfather.</p>
<p>Grammy-winning trumpet legend Arturo Sandoval is reinterpreting the holidays through a free-flowing jazz concert on Monday, Dec. 23, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.</p>
