TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Olivia Rodrigo is turning a longtime dream into reality with the launch of the Daisy Chain Fields Festival, set to take place on August 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California.
Featuring an all-women lineup, the singer-songwriter told Pitchfork that the event is designed as a not-for-profit music festival, inspired in part by the groundbreaking legacy of Lilith Fair.
Rodrigo revealed that the idea has been years in the making. “I actually feel like it’s my calling in some weird way,” she said. “I’ve had this dream to do this festival for a really long time.”
Taking the initiative to invite all-women musicians, the 23-year-old and all the artists have agreed not to take a profit from their performances. Instead, net profits from ticket sales are going toward nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls, including the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, and Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health.
Handpicked by Rodrigo herself, the festival’s lineup features some of the most prominent names in music today, including Chappell Roan, KATSEYE, Doechii, Mitski, Rachel Chinouriri, Bikini Kill, Garbage, The Breeders, Santigold, Die Spitz, and Quiet Light. The event is also expected to welcome several special guests, with icons such as Stevie Nicks, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Sarah McLachlan reportedly set to make appearances.
Through her cover story with Pitchfork, the pop star detailed, “I just feel like we need something really positive to do and see, and young girls need awesome role models who are supporting other women and who are engaging in something that’s really joyful and musical and community-oriented.”
The Grammy-winning artist echoed that sentiment in an Instagram announcement, calling Daisy Chain Fields a project she has envisioned for years. “Truly never felt more excited to share a piece of news with you all,” Rodrigo wrote.
“I’ve had a dream of doing this festival for years and i am so ecstatic its finally coming true!! Daisy Chain Fields features an all-women lineup and 100 percent of the net proceeds will go to charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls,” she added.
