Blink-182 Announce Hollywood Palladium Show Supporting LA Wildfire Relief
When it comes to supporting Los Angeles in a time of crisis, Blink-182 is stepping up in a big way. On Monday (Jan. 27), the iconic punk-rock trio—Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker—announced a special one-night-only charity concert at the Hollywood Palladium. The event, set for Feb. 13 and produced by Live Nation, aims to raise funds for wildfire relief efforts as Southern California continues to battle the devastating effects of recent fires.
All proceeds from ticket sales will be directed to organizations at the forefront of relief efforts, including the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, the Pasadena Humane Society, the California Fire Department, and the ARC Firefighter Fund. Punk outfit Alkaline Trio, which features former Blink-182 vocalist Matt Skiba alongside Dan Andriano and Atom Willard, is set to open the show. Fans eager to attend can purchase tickets starting at 3 p.m. PT via Ticketmaster.
Blink-182 joins a growing list of artists rallying to support wildfire relief. Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, and Billie Eilish are among those participating in the FireAid benefit concert on Jan. 30, while Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and The Weeknd have made significant donations to assist victims and rebuilding efforts. Major music industry organizations, including the Recording Academy, Universal Music Group, Sony, and Warner, have also contributed.
Drummer Travis Barker has been vocal about the efforts of incarcerated firefighters, who have played a crucial role in containing the blazes. Sharing photos with some of these first responders on Instagram Stories earlier this month, he wrote, “These guys are heroes. They are risking their lives to serve people. Save people. Help people. And becoming men in the process.”
With the community coming together in support of those affected, Blink-182’s upcoming concert serves as both a fundraising effort and a powerful show of solidarity for Los Angeles during this challenging time.
