Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio will team up for a wildfire relief show at the Hollywood Palladium on February 13.

Alkaline Trio features former Blink-182 member Matt Skiba, who was the co-lead vocalist and guitarist of the band from 2015 to 2022.

“LIVE AT THE PALLADIUM on February 13 with Alkaline Trio,” Blink-182 announced the show on their Instagram. “Benefiting LAFD Foundation, California Fire Foundation, Anti-Recidivism Coalition, and Pasadena Humane Society. Tickets on sale today at 3pm PT.”

“February 13th at the Hollywood Palladium with Blink-182! A benefit show to help LA fire relief. See you there!!!” Alkaline Trio also said on their social media.

Money from the concert will go to the Pasadena Humane Society, California Fire Department, LAFD Foundation, and ARC Firefighter Fund.

Tickets go on sale today, January 27, at 3:00 p.m. PT on Ticketmaster. Fans can only resell tickets at the original price through Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange.

Last week, Travis Barker visited the Rose Bowl Complex to meet with firefighters and first responders in custody, via People. The drummer wrote on his Instagram story, “These guys are heroes. They are risking their lives to serve people. Save people. Help people. And becoming men in the process.”

“A lot of them came from the juvenile system and this program gives them the ability for real change and to make a difference. To see the humanity in all of them was amazing,” he added.

The Blink-182 show is part of many music events supporting L.A. fire victims. On Thursday, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Katy Perry, and others will perform in a livestreamed event in Inglewood.

The fires have killed at least 29 people, destroyed homes, and forced nearly 200,000 to evacuate, according to NBC News. The Palisades Fire has burned over 23,000 acres, and the Eaton Fire has spread across 14,000 acres.
