Among the event’s sponsors are American Express, Intuit, and UBS. Organizers have also announced that the LA Clippers will cover the “millions in expenses” associated with the event so that all proceeds can go to relief efforts.
The FireAid concert comes as wildfires continue to devastate parts of the L.A. County area, including Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
The fires have so far killed at least 27 people, destroyed 12,000 structures, and scorched over 60 square miles, according to CBS News.
In light of the devastation, several music companies and industry organizations, including Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, BMG, NMPA/Billboard, Downtown, and Primary Wave, have canceled their Grammy Week events. Many have also pledged multi-million-dollar contributions to fire relief efforts.
Despite the ongoing crisis, the Recording Academy has confirmed that the Grammy Awards ceremony will proceed as scheduled on Sunday, February 2.
