Following the devastating fires in LA, some of the world’s biggest stars are coming together for a fundraising concert. You can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
The FireAid live stream takes place on Thursday, January 30.
► Time: 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT / 2 a.m. GMT (Friday) / 1 p.m. AEDT (Friday)
• U.S. — Watch on Apple Music, Apple TV, Max, iHeartRadio, KTLA Plus, Netflix, Paramount Plus, Prime Video, Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, SiriusXM, Spotify, SoundCloud, Veeps, and YouTube
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
The big show is taking place across two venues - the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum - on the same night. The idea is to raise as much money as possible to help people who have lost their homes or faced other consequences from the fires around Los Angeles and Southern California, both from ticket sales and from donations from viewers at home.
The line-up is packed full of huge stars, including Billie Eilish, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Lil Baby and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Many of the artists involved have connections with LA or California more broadly, and much of the entertainment industry has already pledged a lot of support to recovery efforts.
All the major streaming services have come together to make this epic concert as accessible as possible and to try and bring in lots of donations. Read on to find out how you can watch FireAird for FREE wherever you are.
