Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields will recreate the impact, power and joy of Lilith Fair

Like Lilith Fair before it, Daisy Chain Festival is about more than supporting gender equity.

Olivia Rodrigo's festival, Daisy Chain Fields, is set to recreate the impact and spirit of the 1990s Lilith Fair music festival. Inspired by the daisy chain symbolizing strength in unity, the festival features a lineup of women and gender diverse musicians in California this weekend. Just as Lilith Fair brought together over 300 women artists across three years in North America, Daisy Chain Fields aims to empower and celebrate women in the music industry.

Like its predecessor, this festival also champions a philanthropic mission, with profits directed towards charities supporting reproductive rights, infant care, and domestic workers. Despite the ongoing gender inequities in the music industry, festivals like Lilith Fair and Daisy Chain Fields serve as crucial agents of social change by advocating for gender equality both on stage and beyond.
