Olivia Rodrigo is launching her own festival for charity, and on Monday (June 22) she announced that Chapel Lawn, Kate Eye, Doechie, Stevie Nicks and other big-name artists will be on the inaugural lineup.
Rodrigo revealed on Instagram that her first Daisy Chain Fields Festival will be held in Irvine, California on August 29th, while sharing a photo of the event’s poster showcasing the participating artists. “I couldn’t be more excited to share the news with you all,” she wrote. “I’ve been dreaming of doing this festival for years and I’m so happy it’s finally happening!!”
“Daisy Chain Fields features an all-female lineup, and 100 percent of net proceeds will be donated to charities dedicated to the advancement and advocacy of women and girls,” she continued. “The lineup is absolutely insane and full of my heroes and friends. I strongly believe that joy, community, and music can be a force for meaningful change, and I hope this festival will be just that.”
In addition to hosting the festival, Rodrigo will perform at the festival alongside Bikini Kill, Die Spitz, Eli, Garbage, Mitski, Not For Radio, Quiet Life, Rachel Chinourilli, Stantigold, The Breeders and more. Nicks is being touted as one of three “special guests” alongside Karen O and Sarah McLachlan.
According to a press release, Daisy Chain Fields will benefit organizations such as Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproduction Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Indigenous Health Center, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute of Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood. “By connecting women to music acts and organizations that shape a better future for women and girls, we hope to build communities of hope and positive change,” Rodrigo added in a statement.
Tickets go on sale in advance on Wednesday, June 24th at 10am PT. Until then, fans must sign up via the newly created Daisy Chain Fields website to receive a presale passcode.
This festival is just the latest effort Rodrigo has taken to make the world a better place for women and girls. In 2024, she launched Fund 4 Good, which raises money for reproductive rights, education, and anti-domestic violence causes, and later announced that she had donated more than $2 million to charities through proceeds from her Guts World Tour. In 2025, Planned Parenthood awarded her the “Catalyst of Change” award.
Daisy Chain Fields is undoubtedly inspired by Lilith Fair, the groundbreaking all-female festival started by McLachlan in 1997, and Rodrigo stars in a 2025 documentary about the musical event. Rodrigo’s festival announcement comes 10 days after the release of his third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
