Rufus Wainwright, Lucius & Lord Huron Added to L.A. Wildfire Anniversary Benefit Concert

The Concert for Altadena has expanded its lineup ahead of the benefit supporting Californians affected by last year’s deadly wildfires.

Rufus Wainwright, Lucius, Lord Huron and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas have joined the roster for the Jan. 7, 2026, show at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. The one-night-only concert, benefiting those impacted by the Eaton Fire, will be hosted by Altadena resident John C. Reilly, whose home was destroyed in the blaze.

Organized by the band Dawes, the event will also feature previously announced performers, including Brandon Flowers of The Killers and Brad Paisley. Other artists on the lineup include Eric Krasno, Aloe Blacc, Jackson Browne, Judith Hill, Jenny Lewis, Mandy Moore, Stephen Stills, Everclear and Ozomatli.

Proceeds will support the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, which helps rebuild homes destroyed in the fires. The Eaton Fire ravaged the region, killing 19 people, forcing 100,000 residents to flee, and leveling nearly 9,500 structures.

“January 7th marks a year to the day that our sweet town got ravaged by the Eaton Fire,” Dawes wrote on Instagram in October. “It’s gonna be a heavy night, but it’s going to be a beautiful one too.”

Bandmates and brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith have shared how the wildfires personally affected them. Days after the blazes began — and weeks before the L.A. Fire Department could fully contain them — Griffin posted on Instagram that his family had “lost everything,” including their home. Taylor also suffered major losses, with his home studio and much of Dawes’ recording equipment destroyed.

At the February Grammys, Dawes honored the city with a performance of “I Love L.A.,” joined by Brad Paisley, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Brittany Howard and St. Vincent.
