Olivia Rodrigo is launching Daisy Chain Fields, a music festival celebrating female artists, set for August 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California. The announcement came through an interview in Pitchfork’s latest zine with contributor Shaad D’Souza, where Rodrigo expressed, “I actually feel like it’s my calling in some weird way. I’ve had this dream to do this festival for a really long time.” Tickets for the event go on presale on June 24 at 1 p.m. EDT.
Inspired by Lilith Fair
The festival draws inspiration from the iconic Lilith Fair, featuring an all-female lineup or female-fronted bands. Notable acts include Chappell Roan, Bikini Kill, Doechii, Mitski, the Breeders, Garbage, Katseye, Santigold, and Rachel Chinouriri. Rising artists like Not for Radio, Die Spitz, Quiet Light, and Eli will also perform, alongside special guests Stevie Nicks, Karen O, and Sarah McLachlan. All artists are performing without taking a profit, directing net profits towards nonprofits advocating for women and girls.
Supporting Women and Girls
Proceeds from the festival benefit organizations such as the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, and Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health. Rodrigo aims to provide attendees with an empowering experience reminiscent of the late '90s Lilith Fair. “I feel really connected to the young girls that come to my concerts, and the fact that I get to be in the fabric of their lives is a real, true honor that I don’t take lightly,” Rodrigo shared. She emphasizes the festival’s focus on positivity, role models, and community.
