The 7th edition of the LA Gives Back fundraiser will be dedicated to helping with relief for the Los Angeles wildfires. The event is presented by IHEARTCOMIX, Brownies & Lemonade, Another Planet Entertainment and Teragram.

The fundraiser takes place Jan. 29 at The Bellwether, a 1,600-capacity independent venue that opened in 2023 and is located just outside downtown.

“Los Angeles is home to a vibrant independent creative community – we’re proud to open our stage in support of our neighbors who lost everything in this disaster,” Casey Lowdermilk of The Bellwether said in a statement.

Stay tuned for the lineup, which will be announced at a later date. An announcement promises that just as “usual, the night will be staked by some of LA’s best promoters curating multiple stages inside the venue.” All of the funds raised will go to charities helping support victims of the fire, including animals, as well as first responders.

Previous editions of LA Gives Back have featured ZEDD, Bonobo, Madeon, Flying Lotus, TOKiMONSTA, Boys Noize, A-Trak, SNL’s Sarah Sherman, JPEGMafia, Louis The Child, Tim Heidecker & Weyes Blood and Eric André, among others. The series has collectively raised over $250,000 for LA-based charities and initiatives.

“There’s nothing the IHEARTCOMIX team and I care about more than our Los Angeles community—it’s what made us who we are,” Franki Chan of IHEARTCOMIX said in a statement. “Over the past few days, it has been extremely painful to witness so many close friends, family members, and colleagues lose their homes. Even more heartbreaking, is knowing the road to recovery will be long. In moments like these, we believe it’s our duty to channel our best talents to support those in need. LA Gives Back has always been that vehicle for us, so we hope this event will make a meaningful contribution in providing some relief to our community.”

Brownies & Lemonade added, “The devastation Los Angeles has endured the past week from these wildfires made it clear we had to do something. LA Gives Back has been our longstanding event series focused on providing aid to our city and we’re so happy to bring it back for this crucial moment to provide wildfire relief for our city.”
