Daisy Chain Fields 2026 is officially underway, with Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural charitable music festival taking over Orange County Great Park in Irvine, California, today, Saturday, August 29. Inspired by Lilith Fair, the one-day event brings together an all-women and women-fronted lineup across two stages, with performances running from late morning through the evening and Olivia Rodrigo closing the festival with a special guest-filled set.

Gates open at 10:30 a.m. PT, with the Dandelion and Marigold stages operating on staggered schedules so fans can move between performances without missing an artist. The bill spans alternative rock, pop, hip-hop and indie, bringing together established acts and emerging artists for one of the most ambitious new festivals of the summer.

The lineup features Bikini Kill, The Breeders, Doechii, Chappell Roan, Garbage, Mitski and Santigold, alongside rising acts Quiet Light, Eli, Rachel Chinouriri, Die Spitz, Not for Radio and Devon Again.

Devon Again was added to the festival after KATSEYE withdrew from the lineup following Megan’s ankle injury. The group announced the cancellation after Megan sprained her ankle during rehearsal on August 26 and was advised by doctors to prioritize recovery ahead of KATSEYE’s upcoming tour.

Olivia Rodrigo is also scheduled to headline the final portion of the day, with Karen O, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks appearing as special guests.

The festival’s concept is rooted in Olivia Rodrigo’s desire to create a space centered on community, joy and positive role models for young girls. Its name references both the childhood image of girls making daisy chains beneath a tree and the idea of individuals connecting to form something larger.

Daisy Chain Fields also carries a major philanthropic mission. Every participating artist is performing without a performance fee, while 100% of the festival’s net proceeds will benefit organizations supporting women and girls, including Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.

Rodrigo announced an additional $10 million donation to the 10 nonprofit partners during a press conference on Friday, August 28. “It’s a real honor to announce that we are donating $10 million to be given directly to these 10 non profit partners,” she said, bringing the festival’s fundraising effort to a major milestone before its first edition even began.

The charitable campaign has also extended into Rodrigo’s music. Her surprise outtake “serena joy,” released August 24, directs all proceeds to the Daisy Chain Fields Fund. Produced by Dan Nigro and inspired by the character from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, the song was ultimately excluded from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love because its political subject matter did not fit the album’s chronological storyline.

Tickets for Daisy Chain Fields sold out in approximately 30 minutes after going on sale June 24, with the festival expected to welcome around 45,000 attendees to Great Park.
