The Canadian artists join major musical acts including Olivia Rodrigo, No Doubt, Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Green Day and many more for the event set for January 30.
Canadian icon Alanis Morissette has joined the FireAid lineup, raising money for victims of the L.A. wildfires.
On Sunday January 19, Morissette was announced alongside stars like Olivia Rodrigo, No Doubt, Stevie Wonder, and Graham Nash. Morissette is the third Canadian act on the bill, alongside previously announced artists Joni Mitchell and Tate McRae.
The benefit is set for January 30, and will take place at two L.A. venues, the Kia Forum and the Intuit Dome. Produced by the Azoff family in partnership with Live Nation and AEG, the concert will be broadcast live on streaming networks like Apple, Amazon and Netflix. Funds raised will be distributed by the Annenberg Foundation.
Also performing are Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews & John Mayer, Earth, Wind & Fire, Green Day, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Peso Pluma, Stevie Nicks, Sting and more.
Morissette last week posted a reflection on the wildfires — which have killed 27 people to date and scorched thousands of buildings — sharing a painting of her Pacific Palisades neighbourhood, which she received from a friend two days before many of the buildings depicted in it burned down.
"there is heroism and care all around. but for now… all the feelings of grief," Morissette wrote.
The fires forced the evacuation of over 170,000 people in Los Angeles, with indirect fire-related deaths expected to rise. Many Canadians have been affected by the fires, with community members rallying to raise funds for musicians and entertainment workers who have lost homes.
Canada's Unison Fund last week launched a Natural Disaster Relief Program, which Canadian music workers affected by the fires can apply to for immediate relief support.
Tickets for the FireAid benefit go on sale January 22.
