Olivia Rodrigo has announced her inaugural all-women music festival, Daisy Chain Fields, set to take place in Irvine, California, at Great Park on August 29, according to Deadline. The event, described as Rodrigo’s first festival of its kind, will bring together a lineup that spans pop, rock, indie and punk, with multiple headliners and supporting acts scheduled for the same day.

Rodrigo will headline Daisy Chain Fields, anchoring a bill that also includes performances by Chappell Roan and Doechii. Additional announced artists include Katseye and Mitski, as well as veteran rock figures The Breeders, Die Spitz, and Bikini Kill, a range that Deadline said reflects the festival’s broad focus on women-led music acts.

The Irvine show list also features Stevie Nicks, a high-profile addition that joins more contemporary performers such as Garbage, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri, and Santigold. Deadline also reported that Not for Radio is among the artists slated to appear, expanding the roster beyond the most widely known mainstream names.

Daisy Chain Fields will be staged at Great Park in Irvine, a major Southern California venue that has hosted large-scale concerts and multi-artist events. The announcement positions the festival as a single-day destination for audiences looking for a multi-act program organized specifically as an all-women lineup.

Deadline’s report did not detail ticket pricing, ticket sale dates, or the day’s full schedule, and it did not specify whether additional performers may be added later. The publication’s account did confirm the festival’s key date and location, along with the main roster of artists that will appear.

With Daisy Chain Fields scheduled for late summer 2026, the event now enters the planning and ticketing phase typical for large music festivals, including operational preparations at the venue and logistical coordination for attendance. The lineup also underscores Rodrigo’s expanding role beyond recorded music, with the festival announcement marking a new kind of platform for assembling women-led acts under a single brand.

Why It Matters

  • The August 29 date gives Rodrigo a late-summer festival footprint that may affect how audiences and venues plan around major concert weeks in Southern California.
  • The all-women format creates a high-visibility platform centered on women-led performers across multiple genres.
  • The mixed roster, including both mainstream pop artists and legacy rock acts, could draw audiences with different musical preferences to the same single-day event.
  • The Great Park location indicates the festival will require large-scale logistics for crowd management, transportation, and venue operations.
