Daisy Chain Fields: Olivia Rodrigo’s All-Women Festival Carries Lilith Fair’s Torch

Olivia Rodrigo launched Daisy Chain Fields, Irvine’s all-women festival inspired by Lilith Fair, enlisting Sarah McLachlan to help carry the torch. The multi-generational lineup—headlined by Rodrigo with guests like Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks—sold out in about 30 minutes and drew roughly 45,000 fans. The event raised $10 million for women’s nonprofits (Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, among others), later doubled to $20 million by Melinda French Gates, with proceeds going to the Daisy Chain Fund and related philanthropic efforts. In interviews, Rodrigo and McLachlan discuss sexism in the music industry, the importance of live, communal experiences, and the idea of “linking arms” across generations to empower women in music. The piece also highlights Rodrigo’s nonprofit collaborations and the festival’s educational “Daisy Chain Reaction” component.

Gen Z Women Push Country Music to the Top, Through Streaming and Stage

Both artists blend traditional country with pop sensibilities, collaborate with big-name stars, and rely on social media virality and fan-driven tours (Moroney’s nine-city, $9-ticket trek) to drive momentum, signaling a generational shift that defies gatekeepers despite slower radio uptake.
