Stevie Nicks to Appear at Daisy Chain Fields: Olivia Rodrigo’s All Woman Music Festival

The all-women, one-day event at Great Park in Irvine, California will donate 100 percent of net proceeds to nonprofits advocating for women and girls.

Olivia Rodrigo has announced Daisy Chain Fields, an inaugural all-women music festival set for August 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California. The one-day event features a lineup spanning generations and genres, with Stevie Nicks, Chappell Roan, Bikini Kill, Garbage, Doechii, Mitski and more performing alongside Rodrigo herself. All net proceeds will benefit nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls.

A Festival Years in the Making

Rodrigo announced the festival on social media with unmistakable enthusiasm. “Truly never felt more excited to share a piece of news with you all,” she wrote. “i've had a dream of doing this festival for years and i am so ecstatic its finally coming true!! Daisy Chain Fields features an all-women lineup and 100 percent of the net proceeds will go to charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls.”

“The lineup is truly insane and full of my heroes and friends,” she continued. “i firmly believe that joy, community, and music can be the drivers of meaningful change and I'm hopeful this festival will be just that. I absolutely cannot wait to scream and dance and sing with you guys August 29th!!!!”

In her formal mission statement for the festival, Rodrigo framed the event as something larger than a concert. “Daisy Chain Fields is a music festival founded on the belief that joy, community, and creativity can inspire meaningful change,” she wrote, adding that the festival “celebrates the voices, artistry, and contributions of women in music, fostering an inclusive environment in which all are welcome.” She closed the statement with a note on the festival's name: “Daisies are wild and beautiful. As a chain, they are strong and unbreakable.”

Rodrigo's Moment and the Record Behind It

The festival announcement arrives as Rodrigo is riding the success of her third album, “You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love,” which debuted atop the Billboard 200 and became her third consecutive record to top that chart. The album also delivered the biggest opening week sales of her career and the biggest solo debut of 2026.

Rodrigo has spoken openly about the female artists who shaped the record, citing Alanis Morissette's “Jagged Little Pill” and the Riot Grrrl movement associated with Bikini Kill as key influences on her writing. She is also a longtime fan of No Doubt and appeared at their final Las Vegas Sphere show this month, underscoring the through-line of women-led rock that runs through her musical identity and now through Daisy Chain Fields itself.

The take

The Daisy Chain Fields lineup reads like a deliberate survey of women-led music across five decades, and the curatorial logic is hard to miss. Placing Stevie Nicks, who helped define the arena-rock era with Fleetwood Mac and a solo career that has never really stopped, alongside Bikini Kill, the Olympia, Washington band whose Riot Grrrl ethos directly influenced a generation of artists including Rodrigo herself, is a statement about lineage as much as it is a booking decision. Garbage and The Breeders fill in the '90s alternative chapter that connects those two poles. The presence of Sarah McLachlan carries its own historical weight: her Lilith Fair, which ran from 1997 to 1999 and briefly revived in 2010, was the most prominent all-women festival of the modern era and faced real industry skepticism before becoming a commercial and cultural success. Rodrigo is clearly aware of that precedent. The addition of Chappell Roan, Doechii and KATSEYE signals that Daisy Chain Fields is not a nostalgia exercise but a cross-generational event with commercial appeal across multiple fan bases. For Classic Rock listeners, the Nicks booking alone makes this worth watching. At 77, she remains one of the most in-demand live performers of her generation, and appearances like this, curated rather than contractual, tend to carry real artistic weight.

Why it matters

For Classic Rock fans, Stevie Nicks appearing as a special guest at a festival organized by one of pop's biggest current stars is a meaningful moment of generational handoff. It signals that Nicks' influence extends well beyond her own catalog and fan base, and that younger artists are actively seeking to honor and extend that lineage in public, high-profile ways. The Daisy Chain Fields model, combining a strong charitable mission with a genre-spanning lineup, also reflects a growing trend of artists using festival platforms as vehicles for advocacy rather than purely commercial enterprise.

What's next

Presale tickets become available June 24 at 10am PT for fans who register for a passcode through the festival's website. The festival itself takes place August 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California. Rodrigo is also currently supporting her third album, “You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love,” released earlier this month.
