Olivia Rodrigo Launches Daisy Chain Fields Festival: All-Women Lineup Set for Irvines Great Park on August 29
Olivia Rodrigo announced the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival, a single‑day music event that will take place on August 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California. The festival will feature an all‑women lineup curated by Rodrigo and will include a mix of established acts and emerging artists across multiple genres.
Rodrigo, who first rose to prominence with her 2021 debut album Sour, has become a leading figure in contemporary pop. The festival marks a new chapter in her career, expanding her role from performer to organizer and advocate for female representation in the music industry. According to the festival’s announcement, the event will celebrate women in music at a time when female artists continue to dominate charts, festival bills and streaming platforms.
The main lineup lists Rodrigo as the headliner, joined by Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, and global girl group Katseye. Additional performers include The Breeders, Bikini Kill, Garbage, Die Spitz, Eli, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri, and Not for Radio. Special guests announced for the day are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Stevie Nicks, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Canadian singer‑songwriter Sarah McLachlan.
The festival is produced by C3 Presents in partnership with Live Nation and will be held on the expansive grounds of Great Park, a former Marine Corps Air Station that now hosts a variety of cultural events. Great Park’s outdoor venue has been expanded to accommodate large‑scale festivals, and the 2026 schedule includes a mix of concerts, family activities and community programming.
Beyond its musical program, Daisy Chain Fields will partner with a range of organizations focused on social and health issues affecting women and families. Participating groups include Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeForm, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.
Ticketing for the festival is currently available through a presale registration on the event’s official website. Additional details on general admission, pricing and stage schedules are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
The festival’s all‑women format echoes the spirit of earlier women‑focused events such as Lilith Fair and the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, while offering a contemporary lineup that spans pop, rock, hip‑hop and indie. Industry observers note that the event could serve as a platform for cross‑generational collaboration and a showcase for emerging talent alongside established icons.
Rodrigo’s announcement follows the release of her 2026 studio album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which includes the number‑one single “Drop Dead.” The festival’s timing aligns with the album’s promotion cycle, positioning Rodrigo to engage her fan base in a live setting.
As the first major music festival curated by a contemporary pop star, Daisy Chain Fields adds a new entry to the 2026 festival calendar. The event is expected to attract attendees from across the region and beyond, and it may influence future programming decisions by other festival organizers seeking to increase female representation.
In the coming months, festival organizers will likely release full schedules, ticket pricing, and additional partnership announcements. The event’s success will be measured by attendance figures, media coverage and the impact of its charitable collaborations.
The Daisy Chain Fields Festival represents a significant step for Olivia Rodrigo and the broader music community, combining a high‑profile lineup with a mission to support women’s health and social causes. The single‑day event on August 29 promises to be a landmark moment for fans and industry stakeholders alike.
