Dawes Extend Artist Lineup for “A Concert for Altadena,” Add John C. Reilly, Lord Huron, Rufus Wainwright, Lucius and More

The official artist lineup for the impending benefit, A Concert for Altadena, has been extended, following the previously announced charitable gathering, slated for January 7, 2025, at the Pasadena Civic Center in Pasadena, Calif. Joining the night’s musical leaders, Dawes & Friends, is a new roster of musical participants, including John C. Reilly, Lord Huron, Rufus Wainwright, Lucus and Taboo. 

The artist lineup is already comprised of lauded acts, such as brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, accompanied by a staggering list of talent, including Stephen Stills, Jackson Browne, Brad Paisley, Eric Krasno, Aloe Blacc, Judith Hill, Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Jenny Lewis, and Mandy Moore (Taylor Goldsmith’s wife), as well as special performances from Everclear and Ozomatli. 

The impending concert supports rebuilding efforts after the Eaton Fire, which caused widespread devastation in Altadena, Calif., leveling homes, businesses, and a way of life for residents of the Los Angeles County community. 

The Eaton Fires affect Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith personally. Taylor lost his Altadena recording studio, taking with it much of the band’s equipment. Griffin and his significant other lost their home, just two weeks after welcoming their first child. 

Before sharing their plans for a charity concert, Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith paired up to take part in the FireAid benefit concert and lent their talents during the 2025 Grammys, where they performed their powerful tribute to home, “I Love LA.” 

Proceeds benefit the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, which is “helping lead the charge of rebuilding residential Altadena, the community hit hardest by the Eaton Fire. Funding is being directed toward a community-centered recovery that focuses on restoring homes, helping renters return, and preserving the soul of this historically diverse, affordable, and vibrant town.”
