On January 7, 2026, a star-studded lineup will perform at the Pasadena Civic Center to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the devastating Eaton Fire. Organized by the Los Angeles-based folk rock band Dawes, the ‘Concert for Altadena‘ aims to support recovery efforts through the Altadena Builds Back Foundation. The event will feature renowned artists such as Brad Paisley, Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Jackson Browne, Mandy Moore, Jenny Lewis, Aloe Blacc, Stephen Stills, Everclear, and Ozomatli.
The Eaton Fire, which occurred in January 2025, was one of California’s most destructive wildfires, destroying over 9,000 structures and claiming 19 lives. Dawes band members Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, who lost their homes and recording equipment in the fire, expressed their motivation for organizing the concert, stating, “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.”
Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Pasadena Community Foundation’s Eaton Fire Relief & Recovery Fund, which provides resources to affected families, and the Altadena Builds Back Foundation, focusing on long-term housing recovery.
Tickets for the benefit concert will be available starting November 7, 2025. The event promises not only to be a night of music but also a symbol of hope and unity for the Altadena community.
