SLANDER and NGHTMRE Unite for LA Wildfire Relief Concert at Avalon Hollywood

by Michael Ryan · Published January 14, 2025

When disaster strikes, the power of music often rises to meet the moment. SLANDER and NGHTMRE, the minds behind the beloved Gud Vibrations label, are channeling that energy into action.

As the Los Angeles wildfire crisis rages on, the trio has announced a benefit concert to raise funds and bring their community together in support of the city amid one of its darkest moments. All proceeds from the upcoming event will be donated to Red Cross LA and a number of local fire departments, delivering vital resources to the frontlines of disaster relief.

24 people have died so far, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and evacuation orders are in effect for 105,000 residents. The coastal Palisades Fire, the largest and most devastating blaze of a cluster of ongoing wildfires, is now "one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles," according to Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley.

SLANDER and NGHTMRE's charity showcase will take place January 24th at Avalon Hollywood, one of the region's most storied nightlife venues. A historic venue with roots dating back to 1927, Avalon will serve as the perfect symbolic backdrop in a powerful display of unity.

In addition to an epic night of live music, fans can participate in an early-evening merch pop-up in the club's lobby before the show starts at 9pm.
