Kamala Harris wasn’t on-stage at the FireAid concerts tonight in LA, but the former VP was certainly a star attraction.
The Democrats’ 2024 candidate for president and former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff entered a box seat at the Intuit Dome Thursday to cheers as some of the biggest musicians around turned it up to 11 for the City of Angels.

Harris’ appearance was at one of the two FireAid shows was the second time in just over a week that she and Emhoff have stepped out for wildfire relief. Coming straight to devastated LA from DC after Donald Trump‘s swearing in on January 20, the couple went directly to a kitchen serving food to families affected by the fires. Even before the ex-Second Couple went to check in on their Brentwood home, which looked to be cased by alleged looters, they next went to visit First Responders to thank them for their efforts.
After arriving at the Intuit Dome Thursday, Harris posted: “Angelenos will continue to stand together to support those impacted by the wildfires and show gratitude for the first responders who help keep our communities safe.”
Recently having restarted his Hollywood legal career, Emhoff added in a post of his own on Elon Musk’s X that the Irving Azoff organized FireAid “shows the strength and resilience of our city as we begin to recover and rebuild from the devastating wildfires.”
Seeking to provide support and resources to the thousands and thousands of LA County residents who lost their homes and more from Altadena to Pacific Palisades to Pasadena and more when the hurricane strength winds and wildfires hit starting on January 7, the FireAid concerts are being performed at sold out shows at the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum. Featuring SoCal natives like Billie Eilish, Anderson .Paak, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dr, Dre, Katy Perry, and a reunited No Doubt, the concerts saw a rare reunion of remaining Nirvana members with St. Vincent, Sonic Youth vet Kim Gordon and Joan Jett pounding out tunes by the once Kurt Cobain-led grunge legends.
