The Daisy Chain Fields festival debuted at Great Park in Irvine, Calif. on Saturday (Aug. 29), with an 11-hour lineup of all female artists and female-led groups, capped by a headlining set from the festival’s founder and curator: Olivia Rodrigo. The day included currently rising artists, minted 2026 stars and — of course for an Olivia Rodrigo festival — plenty of alt-rock veterans, along with a trio of legendary singer-songwriters as special guests during Rodrigo’s set. It was a huge day for pop and rock fans, for Rodrigo herself, and for all-female-led music festivals, which haven’t gotten a spotlight moment quite like this since the Lilith Fair debuted nearly three decades ago.
