Olivia Rodrigo drives meaningful change with Daisy Chain Fields, a new all-women music festival created to support advocacy for women and girls.

Founded by Rodrigo and produced by C3 Presents and Live Nation, Daisy Chain Fields will debut on August 29, 2026, at the Great Park in Irvine, California. The one-day festival brings together women in music across different generations and genres, while directing its net proceeds to nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls.

The lineup includes Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, KATSEYE, Mitski, Bikini Kill, Garbage, Santigold, The Breeders, Rachel Chinouriri, Die Spitz, Eli, Not For Radio, and Quiet Light, with special guests including Stevie Nicks, Karen O, and Sarah McLachlan.
The purpose behind Daisy Chain Fields is what makes the festival stand out. It is an all-women lineup using music as a way to support organizations working across reproductive rights, maternal health, economic empowerment, domestic violence prevention, gender equity, and resources for women and girls.
Net proceeds from the festival will benefit 10 nonprofit organizations: Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center, and Planned Parenthood.

The announcement also arrives during another major moment in Rodrigo’s career. Her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, is out now via Geffen Records and became the biggest solo debut of 2026, with 485,000 units sold in its first week. The album’s first single, “drop dead,” made Rodrigo the first person to debut the first three singles from their first three albums at No. 1. Her second single, “the cure,” also reached No. 1 on several Billboard charts, including Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, and Alternative Digital Song Sales.
Rodrigo also released the official music video for “stupid song,” directed by Mitch Ryan and shot in New York City. The video was choreographed by and features prima ballerina Tiler Peck, along with dancers from the New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre.
For Rodrigo, the festival reflects the way she continues to use her platform with intention. Through Daisy Chain Fields, she is bringing artists, fans, and organizations into the same space to celebrate women in music while supporting work that reaches beyond the stage.
The festival will also include nonprofit activations, educational resources, community art experiences, local vendors, fan pop-ups, and immersive installations, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about the organizations involved and the issues they are working to address.
In the festival’s mission statement, Rodrigo shared: “Daisies are wild and beautiful. As a chain, they are strong and unbreakable.” That message reflects the heart of Daisy Chain Fields: women in music coming together with purpose, support, and care.
With its all-women lineup and commitment to 10 nonprofit organizations, Daisy Chain Fields becomes a meaningful example of how music can be used to support advocacy for women and girls.
