Pop star Olivia Rodrigo is launching her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival, a one-day music event featuring an all-women lineup and female-fronted acts. The festival takes place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Great Park in Irvine, Calif., following the release of Rodrigo’s third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

The event arrives with a distinct philanthropic mission. During a press event in Santa Monica on Friday, August 28, Rodrigo announced that the festival was donating $10 million to 10 nonprofit partners dedicated to supporting women and girls. According to festival organizers, participating artists are performing without making a profit, with net proceeds directed toward advocacy and support organizations.
Philanthropic Partnerships and Festival Grounds
The festival’s beneficiary organizations are highlighted within a branded hangar on the festival grounds known as Daisy Chain Reaction,
which houses booths for the political and advocacy groups partnered with Rodrigo. The 10 nonprofit partners receiving funds include Planned Parenthood, Baby2Baby, FreeForm, the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Jhpiego, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the National Institute for Reproductive Health, and the National Women’s Law Center.
Beyond advocacy booths, the festival grounds feature a carousel, hydration stations, and brand activations from companies such as Taco Bell, Brooks Running, and Depop. Merchandise stands offer items including pins for $15, as well as t-shirts, a baseball cap, and a limited-edition poster for $50.
Lineup Changes and Complete Performance Schedule
The festival lineup underwent a modification when pop group Katseye withdrew from the event after member Megan Skiendiel sprained her ankle during a tour rehearsal. Following the change, Devon Again joined the lineup, and Santigold moved into Katseye’s former time slot. The festival features two stages—the Dandelion Stage and the Marigold Stage—with non-overlapping set times allowing attendees to view every performance.
