Olivia Rodrigo announces all-women music festival featuring Chappell Roan, Sarah McLachlan, Stevie Nicks
Olivia Rodrigo is taking some inspiration from Lilith Fair.
Nearly 30 years after Sarah McLachlan launched what would become the massively successful all-women touring festival, Rodrigo is starting a festival of her own. It's called Daisy Chain Fields, and it features an all-women lineup.
"Truly never felt more excited to share a piece of news with you all," the three-time Grammy winner wrote on Instagram. "I've had a dream of doing this festival for years and i am so ecstatic its finally coming true!!"
Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields festival, set for Aug. 29 in Irvine, Calif., features an all-women lineup.
Aside from Rodrigo herself, the festival, set for Aug. 29 in Irvine, Calif., will feature performances by Chappell Roan, Doechii, Katseye, Mitski, the Breeders, Die Spitz, Bikini Kill, Eli, Garbage, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri and Not for Radio.
McLachlan, Stevie Nicks and Karen O are listed as special guests.
Speaking to Pitchfork, Rodrigo said she wants her festival to combat cruelty in the world. "In, like, 2020 or something, it was really popular and cool for celebrities to talk about politics, and it's not anymore. It's not encouraged," she said, while also noting a need for equitable lineups. "But that's what the original Lilith Fair was about."
Rodrigo was featured in the 2025 documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery, where she praised the original Lilith Fair, which, despite initial pushback, became the top-grossing touring festival in 1997, in its first year on the road.
"Finding out that all of my favourite artists played at this event. I was in disbelief that I'd never heard of it before," she said in the film's trailer.
