Olivia Rodrigo Launches All-Female Music Festival

Pop singer Olivia Rodrigo has been busy lately with the release of her new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. Despite her hectic schedule, she has managed to organize an entire music festival amid album promotion.

On Monday, June 22, Rodrigo announced the launch of Daisy Chain Fields, a new music festival featuring an all-female lineup. The festival is scheduled for August 29 in Irvine, California.

The festival lineup is impressive, with Rodrigo headlining alongside Garbage, The Breeders, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, KATSEYE, Mitski, and Santigold. The event will also feature special appearances by renowned artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Stevie Nicks, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O.

Rodrigo expressed her excitement about the festival, saying, Daisy Chain Fields is built on the belief that joy, community, and creativity can inspire meaningful change. I’m thrilled to celebrate this wonderful lineup of women and thankful to our partners for bringing this festival to fruition.

She continued, By uniting women in music and organizations dedicated to building a better future for women and girls, I hope we can create a community that inspires hope and positive transformation.

The festival’s net proceeds will benefit nonprofit organizations focused on advancing and advocating for women and girls. For more information, visit the music festival’s official website.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo’s album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, continues to garner attention.

A commentary from Rolling Stone reads, The title was one clue. You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love indicates this project is a complex emotional journey.

Audio Ink Radio adds, If Sour introduced Rodrigo as a songwriter worth following and Guts proved her resilience, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love represents the moment she fully embraces her identity.
