Stevie Nicks and Olivia Rodrigo Each Land Solo Songs on ‘Practical Magic 2’ Soundtrack
Stevie Nicks and Olivia Rodrigo will both be part of the Practical Magic 2 soundtrack, though not as a duo. Rolling Stone has confirmed that Nicks contributes her Fleetwood Mac staple “Landslide” while Rodrigo supplies “The Cure,” her track from the album “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” with each song placed in a different scene of the film. Practical Magic 2 is set to arrive in theaters on September 10, 2026.
The soundtrack news follows a widely discussed onstage moment between the two artists at Rodrigo’s first-ever Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, where they performed “Landslide” as a surprise duet in front of roughly 45,000 attendees. That performance had fueled guesses that the pair recorded something new together specifically for the sequel, but the confirmed soundtrack credits show their contributions were made independently.
- Nicks’ “Crystal” was featured in the original 1998 “Practical Magic,” giving her return to the franchise’s music a personal history.
- Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprise their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, with Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest also returning as the aunts.
- New additions to the cast include Joey King, Maisie Williams and Lee Pace.
- Rodrigo performed “The Cure” a second time at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, in conversation with Cameron Crowe, days after the festival.
How the Practical Magic 2 Soundtrack Speculation Started
Hours after the “Landslide” duet, Bullock reposted Rolling Stone’s video of the performance to her Instagram story with the caption “Angel voices that are part of an upcoming film.” The post was widely read as confirmation that Nicks and Rodrigo had teamed up on new music for the sequel. Rolling Stone’s subsequent reporting clarified that the two are on the soundtrack, but with separate songs rather than a shared recording.
Stevie Nicks on Reuniting With the Practical Magic Franchise
Nicks had been hoping to take part in a sequel’s music well before this news broke. She told Rolling Stone in 2024 that she planned to make sure she was included, joking that she would call up the filmmakers and tell them, “Listen, you have to let me do a song in this, and at least jump off the roof with you guys.” Her “Landslide” placement on the new soundtrack follows through on that wish, echoing her earlier contribution of “Crystal” to the original film.
After the Daisy Chain Fields duet, Nicks spoke about Rodrigo directly to the festival crowd. “She reminds me of me, when I was her age, 100 years ago,” Nicks said, adding that she was “somewhat awestruck” watching Rodrigo perform. Rodrigo, for her part, has called “The Cure” one of her “favorite songs” she has written, describing it at the Grammy Museum as a track that helped her put a long-unnamed feeling into words.
What Happened at Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival
Nicks was one of three surprise guests who joined Rodrigo onstage at the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields, alongside Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette. Morissette stepped in at the last minute for Karen O, who had to withdraw because of a family emergency. The festival’s broader lineup included Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, The Breeders, Garbage and Bikini Kill.
Rodrigo announced that the event raised $10 million for organizations focused on women’s causes, and Melinda French Gates matched that donation, pushing the total to $20 million. Beneficiaries named in coverage of the festival include Baby2Baby, the Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood, among other groups supporting reproductive rights and survivors of domestic violence.
