Olivia Rodrigo has announced her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival, taking place at Irvine, CA’s Great Park on August 29 and touting an all-female lineup.

The festival will feature performances from Rodrigo alongside Chappell Roan, Doechii, Katseye, Mitski, the Breeders, Die Spitz, Bikini Kill, Eli, Garbage, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri and Not for Radio. Daisy Chain Fields will also feature special guests Karen O, Stevie Nicks and Sarah McLachlan.

“Truly never felt more excited to share a piece of news with you all,” wrote Rodrigo on social media. “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!!!!”

Some of the organizations that the festival is partnering with include Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeForm, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center, and Planned Parenthood. Fans can sign up for presale access at the festival’s website.

Rodrigo is currently riding high off the success of her third album “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” which bowed atop the Billboard 200 and became her third consecutive record to top the tally.

About time. Lilith Fair was 30 years ago

So I'm expecting Sarah McLachlan on the bill.

Edit. Yup. Didn’t even need to read the article. For a dude that hated Alternative/Grunge, Lilith Fair was basically the only show I saw those years. Great shows.

Edit the second... For those unaware, Lilith Fair also spawned and annual Canadian centric compilation CD set called Women and Songs that were all singer songwriter based (through about volume 8). I ended up on a 5200 km road trip and we only had 2 of these in the car, due to a lost CD case. You can find them on Spotify in a playlist if you are so inclined.
