Artists Support LA Wildfire Relief with Benefit Concerts

Inglewood recently hosted a benefit concert to support wildfire relief efforts, featuring performances by stars like Andra Day, Nick Cannon, and Mario. The event was organized by the creative collective 1500 or Nothin’ and coincided with the grand opening of their new WePlay Studios, aiming to raise funds for those affected by the devastating wildfires that have swept through Los Angeles since January 7. These wildfires have resulted in 27 fatalities and forced over 200,000 residents to evacuate, prompting various fundraising initiatives across the music community. Jack White and Billy Idol have also announced benefit concerts, with proceeds going towards long-term recovery efforts for wildfire victims. The City of Inglewood's Mayor James Butts recognized the importance of community support, emphasizing a collective commitment to rebuilding. Additionally, organizations like MusiCares and Sweet Relief are providing financial assistance to music professionals impacted by the fires.
