Stevie Nicks Performs ‘Stand Back’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live Ahead of Daisy Chain Fields
Stevie Nicks played her 1983 solo hit “Stand Back” on Jimmy Kimmel Live in an episode that aired Tuesday, August 25, 2026. The televised performance arrives just days before Nicks is expected to make a special guest appearance at Olivia Rodrigo’s first Daisy Chain Fields festival, set for August 29, 2026, in Irvine, California.
- Guitarist Waddy Wachtel, a longtime collaborator of Nicks, backed her during the Kimmel performance.
- Guest host Jelly Roll introduced the segment.
- “Stand Back” was the lead single off Nicks’ second solo record, The Wild Heart, and climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Daisy Chain Fields, headlined and curated by Olivia Rodrigo, has already sold out.
Why Stevie Nicks Played ‘Stand Back’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live
“Stand Back” has long held a place in Nicks’ live shows, and its Kimmel airing gave the synth-driven track a rare late-night television spotlight. The song’s chart peak at No. 5 and its origin on The Wild Heart made it a fitting choice to showcase ahead of Nicks’ upcoming festival appearance.
What to Know About Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival
Nicks is expected to join the bill as a special guest at Daisy Chain Fields, an all-female music festival organized and topped by Olivia Rodrigo, taking place August 29 in Irvine, California. The festival has already sold out ahead of its debut.
Daisy Chain Fields is currently the only date listed on Nicks’ upcoming schedule. The singer had previously postponed some of her Fall 2025 tour dates after fracturing her shoulder.
