Olivia Rodrigo Fest raises $10M for women and girls
As the gates open on Daisy Chain Fields, the celebration isn’t just about unforgettable music—it’s about a powerful wave of collective action. Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural festival has quickly proven that joy, community, and creativity can indeed inspire meaningful change, all while delivering remarkable social impact.
The event has achieved a significant milestone, raising $10 million for its ten nonprofit partners. Every dollar of net proceeds went directly toward organizations dedicated to supporting women and girls, turning a music festival into a powerful platform for advocacy and empowerment.
The scale of this effort is reflected in the diverse and critical work of the organizations involved. Partners include major groups such as Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, and the National Women’s Law Center, alongside institutions focusing on global health, such as Jhpiego and the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health.
Daisy Chain Fields is more than a concert; it is an intersection of music, education, and activism. It provides a dynamic space where attendees can engage with crucial issues affecting women and girls globally, making the abstract concept of social change tangible and vibrant.
The festival sets a high bar for community engagement. The Daisy Chain Reaction area allows attendees to connect directly with representatives from all ten nonprofit partners, offering opportunities to learn about their missions and find ways to get involved. Furthermore, the event champions creativity by featuring women-led businesses and visual artists through vendors, installations, and community art spaces.
The impact extended far beyond the festival grounds. In the weeks leading up to the event, the community demonstrated incredible dedication. L.A. Works generated nearly 3,000 volunteer hours from over 600 fans through its Daisy Chain Reactive Drive, and the HeadCount nonpartisan civic-engagement organization drove more than 45,000 civic actions through its partnership with the festival.
The event also successfully merged this activist spirit with commercial appeal. Olivia Rodrigo introduced a fun, pink-infused spin on the popular beverage, launching “You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast.” This limited-edition, lemonade-inspired version of the Taco Bell drink will be available on-site at Daisy Chain Fields before rolling out nationwide.
The stage was set by an incredible lineup, featuring established and emerging talent. Artists like Bikini Kill, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage, Mitski, Santigold, the Breeders, Karen O, Sarah McLachlan, and Stevie Nicks are bringing their energy to the celebration.
