Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Was More Than A Music Festival

By

Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields brought together some of music’s biggest names while raising millions for organizations supporting women and girls.

It’s been a few days since the Daisy Chain Fields festival, and people are still talking about it. Filipino-American pop star Olivia Rodrigo founded Daisy Chain Fields to inspire meaningful change through music and community. But besides the performances and star-studded lineup, the festival brought together fans for a day that felt just as much about connection as it was about music.

From unforgettable live sets to the shared energy of thousands of people singing along to their favorite songs, Daisy Chain Fields showed us how a music festival can also be a space to bring people together, spark conversations, and make a good time a little more meaningful.

Key Moments From The Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival

With a lineup stacked with women who’ve soundtracked years of heartbreak, rage, joy, and everything in between, Daisy Chain Fields was bound to deliver a few moments that would take over everyone’s feeds. And it did.

Artists including Chappell Roan, Mitski, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Garbage, The Breeders, and more kept the festival going across generations and genres. The lineup itself was part of the fun: you could go from screaming along to a pop anthem to catching a punk legend in the span of a few hours.

Olivia Rodrigo, of course, saved some of the biggest surprises for her own set. The standout had to be her performance of “Landslide” with Stevie Nicks—a moment between one of pop’s biggest stars today and the Fleetwood Mac icon who influenced her, and generations of artists.

In a full-circle moment, Rodrigo was also joined by Sarah McLachlan, who co-founded the all-women touring festival Lilith Fair in 1997 to challenge sexism in the industry, a movement that inspired the young artist to start Daisy Chain Fields in the first place; with Alanis Morissette gracing the stage as well, the closing set became a crash course in women-led music history.

The Cause Behind Daisy Chain Fields, And The Organizations It Funded

Daisy Chain Fields had a clear purpose beyond giving everyone an excuse to spend the day listening to an absurdly good lineup. 100% of the festival’s net proceeds went to 10 nonprofit organizations supporting women and girls in the United States and around the world. The causes covered reproductive rights, maternal health, economic justice, gender equity, family support, domestic workers’ rights, and protection against domestic violence. Even better, the artists agreed to perform for free so the festival’s proceeds could go directly toward its nonprofit partners.

Ticket sales generated $10 million, which Melinda French Gates matched with another $10 million, bringing the total raised to $20 million. The funds will support organizations including Planned Parenthood, Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the National Women’s Law Center, and the National Domestic Workers Alliance, among others. So yes, people came for Rodrigo and her roster of admirable women artists, but their tickets ended up supporting something much bigger than a very good day of live music.
