Olivia Rodrigo Delivers Magic With Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette at Daisy Chain

Rodrigo capped her inaugural all-women festival with a stunning headlining set — and invited her heroes to the stage

Olivia Rodrigo celebrated the enormous success of her first music festival, Daisy Chain Fields, sharing on Instagram that it was "the greatest joy of my career." The festival, which took place in Irvine, California, featured an all-female lineup and raised over $10 million in donations to support women and girls' causes. After the event, Rodrigo expressed how emotional the experience was, as it demonstrated the festival's core message: unity and the desire for a better world.

She reflected on the artwork where festival-goers wrote down their hopes, most of which centered around peace, love, and making a difference. The lineup for Daisy Chain Fields included artists like Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, and The Breeders, with Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan, and Alanis Morissette making surprise appearances.

Rodrigo emphasized the pride she felt in curating the lineup and working with other women in the industry. The festival's success led to Melinda French Gates matching the initial $10 million in donations, increasing the total to $20 million. Despite the success of Daisy Chain Fields, Rodrigo confirmed that the festival will return in 2027, emphasizing that joy is a part of the solution.
