Olivia Rodrigo Announces Women-Led Charity Festival Featuring Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, and Stevie Nicks
Olivia Rodrigo is expanding her influence beyond the charts and the touring circuit with the launch of her own music festival, a one-day event built around an all-women lineup and a charitable mission.
The singer announced Monday that Daisy Chain Fields will take place Aug. 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California, bringing together a cross-generational lineup that spans rock, pop, punk, indie, and alternative music. Rodrigo will headline the event herself, joined by artists including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Garbage, Mitski, Santigold, the Breeders, Rachel Chinouriri, KATSEYE, Die Spitz, Eli, Not for Radio, and Quiet Light.
The festival will also feature appearances from several special guests, including Stevie Nicks, Karen O, and Sarah McLachlan. Rodrigo revealed the event through social media, describing it as a project she had been hoping to launch for years. According to the singer, all net proceeds from the festival will be donated to organizations focused on supporting women and girls.
Unlike many artist-curated festivals, Daisy Chain Fields appears designed as much around advocacy as entertainment. Organizers say proceeds will benefit a wide range of nonprofit organizations, including Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeForm, Jhpiego, the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the National Institute for Reproductive Health, the National Women’s Law Center, and Planned Parenthood.
Rodrigo framed the festival as an extension of her belief that music can serve as a vehicle for community building and social engagement. She said she hopes the event will create a space where fans can celebrate music while supporting causes that directly impact women and girls.
The lineup itself reflects many of the influences that have shaped Rodrigo's own artistic identity. Bikini Kill's inclusion is particularly notable given the band's central role in the riot grrrl movement, a scene that has influenced Rodrigo's music and aesthetic since the beginning of her career. The presence of artists such as Garbage, the Breeders, Karen O, and Stevie Nicks places Rodrigo alongside several generations of women who helped redefine alternative and rock music.
At the same time, the festival highlights many of the most prominent younger voices in contemporary music. Chappell Roan and Doechii have both experienced breakthrough success in recent years, while Mitski and Rachel Chinouriri have built devoted audiences through acclaimed releases and increasingly ambitious live performances.
The announcement comes during a particularly successful period for Rodrigo. Earlier this month, she released her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming her third consecutive chart-topping album. The project produced two Hot 100 leaders, “Drop Dead” and “The Cure,” further cementing her status as one of pop music's dominant commercial forces.
The album also marked a noticeable expansion of Rodrigo's musical palette. While earlier records drew heavily from pop-punk and alternative rock, the new release leans further into the influences that have long informed her songwriting, particularly the female-led rock and alternative acts of the 1990s. In many ways, the Daisy Chain Fields lineup mirrors those inspirations, pairing established icons with a younger generation of artists carrying those traditions forward.
Tickets for the festival will first be available through a presale beginning June 24, with general-sale information available through the event's official website.
