Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields Festival Raises $10 Million for Women's and Girls' Causes
Olivia Rodrigo's inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival has raised $10 million in donations for nonprofit organisations benefitting women and girls, the musician announced on the eve of the festival.
All net proceeds from the event, held at Great Park in Irvine, California on 29 August 2026, will be dispersed across ten nonprofits. The beneficiaries span reproductive rights, maternal health, gender justice and support for survivors of gender-based violence. Rolling Stone
The reproductive health beneficiaries include the Center for Reproductive Rights, Jhpiego, the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, Planned Parenthood and the National Institute for Reproductive Health. Rodrigo also partnered with FreeFrom, which supports survivors of gender-based violence, and the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which advocates for domestic workers. Rolling Stone
Three further nonprofits round out the list. Baby2Baby distributes essential items — diapers, formula, clothing and food — to children in need. Black Mamas Matter Alliance provides Black mothers with resources before, during and after pregnancy. The National Women's Law Center advocates for gender justice across the United States.

The scale is notable. The festival is expected to host roughly 10,000 guests, and the city of Irvine is slated to receive $5 per ticket sold, totalling an estimated $225,000, according to Voice of OC. The $10 million figure sits well above the $2.5 million in profits and donations that Rodrigo's prior tour steered toward women's health and abortion-rights causes, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
The lineup leaned into the festival's mission. Rodrigo headlined, joined by Bikini Kill, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage, Mitski, Santigold, the Breeders, Devon Again and Rachel Chinouriri. Karen O, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks appeared as special guests — a bill that spans several generations of women in rock and pop. Rolling Stone
At a press conference on the Friday before the festival, Rodrigo cited Lilith Fair — the late-1990s touring festival founded by McLachlan, which featured an all-female lineup — as the foundation for Daisy Chain Fields. McLachlan's presence as a special guest drew a direct line between the two events. Rolling Stone
Rodrigo's Fund 4 Good initiative, promoted on her official website, has been the vehicle for her charitable work around women's health and reproductive rights. Daisy Chain Fields represents the largest single-event extension of that effort to date, turning a one-day festival into an eight-figure fundraising vehicle for ten organisations working across different fronts of women's welfare.
