Live Nation and Crew Nation have pledged $1 million to support Los Angeles music industry workers affected by recent wildfires. The relief fund will provide grants up to $5,000 for eligible individuals facing evacuation expenses, property damage, or losses.

Eligible recipients include performing musicians, live music crew members, and industry workers who have been displaced by mandatory evacuation orders or suffered direct impacts from the Los Angeles County wildfires - one of the largest natural disasters in US history.

"LA is home to so many who help make live music possible, and Crew Nation is continuing its core mission of helping this hardworking community through unforeseen hardship," said Michael Rapino, President and CEO of Live Nation Entertainment.

Additional support measures include:

• Direct relief for impacted Live Nation LA headquarters employees through the Taking Care of Our Own program
• Partnership with FireAid benefit concert to support rebuilding and fire prevention efforts
• Ongoing support through the On The Road Again program with a $5 million pledge

Since its creation during the pandemic, Crew Nation has:

• Provided assistance to over 16,000 crew members globally
• Distributed $10 million from Live Nation
• Received $8 million in additional support from artists, fans, and industry partners

Those wishing to support affected music industry workers can donate to Crew Nation through their 501c3 organization.
