Concert to Commemorate Eaton Fire Anniversary, Featuring Major Artists

A benefit concert featuring Dawes, Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Brad Paisley, Jackson Browne, Jenny Lewis, and others will be held on January 7, 2026, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium to mark the one-year anniversary of the devastating Eaton Fire.

The event aims to honor those impacted by the fire and raise funds for recovery efforts, a critical need as communities continue to rebuild. The concert will take place on the evening of January 7th, exactly one year after the blaze. Additional musical acts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Beyond the anniversary concert, a diverse range of events are planned across Southern California this weekend. Tonight, Metro presents “LAte Night Train of Thought” at Union Station, a free event featuring comedy, poetry, and storytelling. Tomorrow, the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live will host “Mix at the Museum: A Roland Free Day,” offering free access to exhibits and hands-on musical experiences. For those interested in the local arts scene, the Iam8bit gallery is reopening in Downtown Los Angeles with a 20th-anniversary exhibit celebrating 8-bit art and gaming. You can find more information about events in the area at LAist.

Other weekend highlights include the San Pedro Arts-a-Palooza, the Burbank Book Festival, and a unique art activation in Laguna Beach where volunteers will create a Morse code “SOS” message using mirrors to raise awareness about ocean conservation. Officials stated that further details regarding ticket sales and beneficiary organizations for the Eaton Fire concert will be released shortly.
