Dawes, Brad Paisley and Other Artists to Hold L.A. Benefit Concert on One-Year Anniversary of Deadly Wildfires

Dawes has organized a star-studded benefit to support residents still rebuilding after the devastating Los Angeles–area wildfires in January. The band announced on Monday, October 27, 2025, that “A Concert for Altadena” will be held at the Pasadena Civic Center on January 7, 2026 — the one-year anniversary of the Eaton Fire.

The lineup features headliners and guest performers including Brandon Flowers (The Killers), Brad Paisley, Eric Krasno, Aloe Blacc, Jackson Browne, Judith Hill, Jenny Lewis, Mandy Moore, Stephen Stills, Everclear and Ozomatli, among others.

All proceeds will be directed to the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, a fund dedicated to helping homeowners recover and rebuild properties destroyed in the blazes. For more information about the foundation, visit their site: Altadena Builds Back Foundation.

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

The Goldsmith brothers — Taylor and Griffin — have been candid about the losses they endured. Griffin posted that his family lost their home to the fire, and Taylor has described how the flames destroyed his home studio and much of the band’s recording equipment.

Earlier this year at the Grammys, Dawes paid tribute to Los Angeles by opening the ceremony with a rendition of “I Love L.A.,” joined onstage by Brad Paisley, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Brittany Howard and St. Vincent.
