Olivia Rodrigo is launching an all-women music festival called "Daisy Chain Fields" in Irvine, California [1].
The event represents a significant philanthropic effort by the singer to leverage her platform for gender-based advocacy. By centering the lineup on female artists, the festival aims to highlight women's contributions to the music industry while generating funds for social causes.
The one-day event [2] is scheduled to take place in August 2026 [3] at Irvine's Great Park [4]. Rodrigo said the festival will be a women-led experience, featuring a lineup exclusively composed of female performers [5].
Financial contributions from the event will be directed toward charitable efforts. According to the announcement, 100% of the proceeds [6] will benefit organizations that advocate for women and girls [7].
While the specific artist lineup beyond Rodrigo has not been fully detailed in the initial announcement, the festival is positioned as a curated celebration of female talent. The choice of the Great Park in Irvine provides a large-scale venue capable of hosting the anticipated crowds for the one-day gathering [4].
This initiative follows a broader trend of high-profile musicians creating dedicated spaces for marginalized or underrepresented groups within the live music circuit. By donating all earnings, Rodrigo ensures the event serves as a fundraiser rather than a commercial venture [6].
“100% of the proceeds will benefit organizations that advocate for women and girls”
The launch of Daisy Chain Fields signals a shift toward 'purpose-driven' festivals where the primary objective is philanthropic rather than profit-oriented. By dedicating all proceeds to women's advocacy, Rodrigo is utilizing a high-visibility event to create a tangible financial impact for non-profit organizations while promoting gender equity in the music industry.
