Olivia Rodrigo staged her debut Daisy Chain Fields Festival in Irvine, California, drawing 45,000 people to Grant Park's main stage after tickets sold out within 30 minutes. The event, headlined by Rodrigo and built around an all-women lineup, is being framed as a spiritual successor to Sarah McLachlan's 1990s Lilith Fair, which challenged music industry resistance to booking multiple women on the same bill and raised $10 million for women's charities during its 1997-1999 run.

The Rocksound live review highlights performances from acts including Austin punk-metal quartet Die Spitz and Riot Grrrl pioneers Bikini Kill, whose frontwoman Kathleen Hanna noted it was the first time the band hadn't needed to call "girls to the front" due to the crowd composition. The reviewer describes a diverse, cross-generational bill united by artists using their platforms for political and cultural expression, with Rodrigo, 23, reportedly telling the crowd it was "the best day of my fucking life."
