Katy Perry will be one of more than a dozen performers at the FireAid benefit concerts taking place in Inglewood, California, on Jan. 30. But despite the destruction and death that the LA wildfires have caused, she says she doesn’t expect the shows to have a sad vibe.
Speaking to Access Hollywood, Katy says, “I think there will be a hopeful energy, a connected energy and an energy of community.” She says performing at the show is “my way of supporting and doing my little part.”
Katy told Access Hollywood that when she was asked to perform, she told organizers, “Whatever you need me to do. If you need me to stand on a corner, if you need me to go back to the farmers market and busk, I will be there.” As fans know, Katy got her start performing at the farmers market in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California.
In addition to Katy, the concert lineup includes Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, No Doubt, Jelly Roll, Alanis Morissette, John Mayer, Green Day, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gracie Abrams, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell and Sting.
“I’m really inspired by our California community,” Katy says. “How they’ve all come together, how they’ve organized, how quick they’ve been, how kind they’ve been … there are so many organizations that are boots-on-the-ground, helping out.”
Tickets for the shows are on sale now, but they will also stream on multiple platforms, including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+ and YouTube.
