Olivia Rodrigo is bringing a new female-focused music festival to California this summer.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter announced the first-ever Daisy Chain Fields, a one-day festival, will be set for Aug. 29 at the Great Park in Irvine, California. Inspired by the spirit of the 1990s Lilith Fair, the inaugural event will feature an all-women lineup of artists and female-fronted bands, while supporting organizations dedicated to advancing women’s and girls’ rights.
Rodrigo will headline the festival alongside a lineup that includes Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, KATSEYE, Garbage, Bikini Kill, Santigold, Rachel Chinouriri, The Breeders, Die Spitz, Eli, Not For Radio, and Quiet Light. Special guests Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Karen O are also scheduled to appear alongside the main lineup. Performances will take place across two stages.
Beyond live music, Daisy Chain Fields will incorporate nonprofits, educational resources, community art experiences, local vendors and immersive installations designed to encourage engagement with issues affecting women and girls. Festival partners are composed of organizations focused on reproductive rights, maternal health, economic empowerment, domestic violence prevention and gender equity, including Planned Parenthood, Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
According to organizers, net proceeds from the festival will be donated entirely to nonprofit organizations. Rodrigo described the event as a long-held dream and a way to bring together music, community and social impact.
Presale registration is currently open, with the festival presale beginning at 10 a.m. PT, on Wednesday. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
