Olivia Rodrigo presents Daisy Chain Fields - official lineup, Great Park, Irvine CA, August 29 The official lineup

Olivia Rodrigo built a festival for women. It's donating $20 million.

A stacked women-led lineup (including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski and Stevie Nicks) performed for free, donating $20 million to nonprofits supporting women and girls.

Year one, and it sold out the park.

Olivia Rodrigo founded Daisy Chain Fields as a one-day benefit at Great Park in Irvine, California, on August 29, 2026 - the first edition, pitched in the spirit of Lilith Fair. The bill was women-led top to bottom: Bikini Kill, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage, Mitski, Santigold and The Breeders, with Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks as special guests.

Every artist waived their fee. The day sold out, and net proceeds are being donated to nonprofits supporting women and girls.

A music festival founded on the belief that joy, community, and creativity can inspire meaningful change. Olivia Rodrigo, from the festival's mission statement

Onsite

The Daisy Chain Reaction.

The festival's civic-engagement program, run with L.A. Works. In the weeks before the show, fans logged volunteer hours in their own communities - food insecurity, education, climate - for a shot at tickets. On the day, a nonprofit village gathered the ten causes in one place: fans moved booth to booth, met each one, and collected an enamel pin along the way.
