Daisy Chain Fields, a women-led festival hosted by Olivia Rodrigo on Saturday, brought together a lineup including queer pop star Chappell Roan, breakout rapper Doechii, and riot grrrl pioneers Bikini Kill. The event raised US$20 million for women's well-being, with Rodrigo pledging US$10 million to 10 nonprofit partners. The festival aimed to unite women and girls behind issues of women's health, workplace protections, and legal rights.

Rodrigo expressed hope amid the "regression of women's rights" and emphasized the strength of individual parts coming together. The festival, inspired by Lilith Fair, emphasized authenticity and the connection between the music and the cause. Attendees appreciated the blend of well-known organizations and specialized groups, with many mother-daughter duos attending together.
