Olivia Rodrigo is joining forces with iHeartRadio for two radio specials built around her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields charity festival, with the first airing Friday, Aug. 28 and the second following on Monday, Aug. 31 (Billboard; iHeartRadio).

The first special is a guest-hosting turn on iHeartRadio's weekly She Is the Voice programme, officially titled iHeartRadio's She Is The Voice with Special Guest Olivia Rodrigo. The hourlong episode airs Friday at 9 p.m. ET on iHeartRadio's ALT stations nationwide, plus two digital stations: Alt Radio and She Rocks Radio. It will replay nightly at 7 p.m. ET on She Rocks Radio from Aug. 28 through Sept. 4 (Billboard).

The second special, iHeartRadio Presents: Olivia Rodrigo: Songs from Daisy Chain Fields, runs 30 minutes and features exclusive recordings of Rodrigo's festival set. It airs Monday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. local time on CHR and Hot AC stations — the formats that sit between pop and adult contemporary on radio's dial — and on iHeartRadio's digital station Hit Nation starting at 7 p.m. ET (Billboard).

Daisy Chain Fields, a one-day festival founded by Rodrigo as a nonprofit dedicated to creating spaces where women can connect through music, took over Great Park in Irvine, California on Saturday, Aug. 29 (iHeartRadio, June 2026; Olivia Rodrigo official store). Rodrigo announced the festival on June 22 and curated an all-women bill that included Chappell Roan, Doechii and KATSEYE. She closed the night with a headlining set that brought out special guests Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Karen O (Billboard).

All proceeds from the festival go to charities supporting women and girls, including Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. In the lead-up to the event, Rodrigo visited the offices of Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights to discuss women's rights and healthcare access (Billboard).

Rodrigo also surprise-dropped a standalone single, Serena Joy — named after a character in The Handmaid's Tale — on streaming services after a limited CD release through record stores. A portion of the single's net proceeds goes to the same causes benefiting from the festival (Billboard).

The She Is the Voice special ties directly into the festival's all-women lineup and Rodrigo's third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which topped the Billboard 200 — the chart that ranks the most-consumed albums in the US each week (Billboard).

For fans who could not secure a spot at Great Park — festival tickets were on a waitlist, with only parking and shuttle passes remaining as of the official store listing — the two iHeartRadio specials offer the closest thing to a front-row seat (Olivia Rodrigo official store).
