Live Nation & Crew Nation Announce $1M Commitment To Support L.A. Fire Relief

As thousands of firefighters continue to battle multiple fires in Los Angeles, Live Nation and Crew Nation Global Relief Fund are doing their part to help those impacted by the disaster. The Crew Nation Global Relief Fund, which was established by Live Nation in 2020 and is dedicated to helping the music community experiencing unforeseen hardships, is committing $1 million to assist performing musicians, live music crew and live music industry workers affected by the wildfires.
Crew Nation opened applications for grants up to $5,000 for individuals currently employed within the industry facing displacement expenses as a result of mandatory evacuation orders, damage or loss. Those seeking help can click here.
“L.A. is home to so many who help make live music possible, and Crew Nation is continuing its core mission of helping this hardworking community through unforeseen hardship,” Michael Rapino, president & CEO of Live Nation Entertainment, said in a statement.
In addition to Crew Nation’s pledge to assist industry workers, Live Nation is helping its own by supporting impacted employees from its Los Angeles headquarters with relief through its Taking Care of Our Own program.
The major entertainment company is also a partner in producing and promoting the FireAid benefit concert on Jan. 30 at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Lil Baby and P!NK are among those performing at the one-night-only event, and all proceeds from the benefit concert will go toward rebuilding infrastructure and supporting displaced communities devastated by the wildfires.
