U2, whose members include Bono and the Edge, committed during the event to donating $1 million to the relief efforts. Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, and his wife, Connie, also pledged to match that donation and all donations made during the live broadcast of FireAid.

Spanning multiple hours, the show saw legends like Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell and more, while also bringing out newer artists, like Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams and others. Even former vice president Kamala Harris and her husband were in attendance at the event.
