It was a night of unity, gratitude, defiance in the face of adversity and, most of all, music. FireAid took place last night (and this morning), and it was an event so huge it had to happen at two locations in Los Angeles: the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum. The lineup of performers spanned from the 60s to present day, from Stephen Stills and Graham Nash to Jelly Roll and Tate McRae. One of the highlights of the night? Nirvana’s remaining members reuniting for the cause.
The massive event was held to raise funds for relief efforts in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires.
The evening kicked off at 9:30pm ET, and didn’t end until 3:15am ET, and streamed live on most platforms. Emcees included Billy Crystal, Samuel L. Jackson, Quinta Brunson, Miles Teller and others. The list of performers and the songs they performed are as follows.
