She is set to join Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Tom Hamilton, Linda Perry, Matt Sorum, Nuno Bettencourt and Aerosmith, which is reuniting for a special performance at the Live Nation-sponsored event. “Having an amazing artist like Lainey Wilson stop in and join us is going to make this year’s Jam rock like something I could have never dreamed of,” Tyler said in a statement. Wilson is a 2025 Grammy nominee. Another 2025 Grammy nominee is still to be announced for this bill.

PREVIOUSLY (Jan. 23): Steven Tyler’s sixth annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party has been announced, with the charity event to be held on Feb. 2 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (the site of the first live Grammy telecast in 1971).

Hosted by Grammy-winning comedian Tiffany Haddish, the evening features a lineup of performers including Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Tom Hamilton, Linda Perry, Matt Sorum, and Nuno Bettencourt. A special highlight will be a reunion performance by members of Aerosmith.

The event supports Janie’s Fund, the rocker’s nonprofit aiding young women and girls who have survived abuse, and expands its philanthropic reach this year to benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Widows, Orphans, and Disabled Firefighter’s Fund. The event will welcome more than 100 firefighters who have been at the forefront of combating the California wildfires.

“What the Los Angeles community has endured with these wildfires is unthinkable,” Tyler said in a statement. “Music has healing powers and we hope to bring a moment of joy and levity to our first-responder firefighters and those most affected by the fires. The trauma experienced by the girls we work with is also unthinkable and we will continue to shed light and support the amazing work of Janie’s Fund.”

The night will include a red carpet, cocktail reception, dinner, live auction, and an after-party benefitting Janie’s Fund, as well as support both the Widows, Orphans and Disabled Firefighters Fund and Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation by raising critical funds to help meet the immediate needs for lifesaving equipment and resources. 

Event chairs include Ace & Matt Sorum, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Andrea Bocelli, Ashlee Simpson & Evan Ross, Bill Maher, Bo Derek, Chris & Rich Robinson, Dolly Parton, Flavor Flav, Jane Lynch, Kayte & Kelsey Grammer, Lionel Richie, Melissa Joan Hart, Miley Cyrus, Nuno Bettencourt, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Sammy Hagar, Scarlett Johansson, and Shep Gordon.

Named after Aerosmith’s 1989 hit “Janie’s Got a Gun,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the band their first of four Grammys for best rock performance, Janie’s Fund has been a lifeline for vulnerable girls. With its expanded mission this year, the event promises to raise vital funds for lifesaving equipment and resources.
