Billboard · 13 hours ago

Olivia Rodrigo has reflected emotionally on the success of her debut Daisy Chain Fields festival, calling it "the greatest joy of my career" in an Instagram post the day after the event. The all-women festival, held in Irvine, California, marked the fulfilment of a long-held ambition for the singer, who personally curated a lineup spanning multiple genres and generations of female artists, and who confirmed the festival will return in 2027.

The 29 August event featured performers including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Bikini Kill and The Breeders, with surprise appearances from Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette during Rodrigo's headline set. In her post, she described being moved by a Yoko Ono "wish tree" installation where attendees tied tags bearing their hopes, many of which centred on peace and helping others. All proceeds benefit organisations supporting women and girls, including Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights; ticket sales raised $10 million in donations, later matched by Melinda French Gates to bring the total to $20 million.
