Sources: 105. Developments: 7. The inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival, held August 29, 2026, at the Great Park in Irvine, California, raised $20 million for charities benefiting women and girls. This total includes a $10 million match from Melinda French Gates through Pivotal Ventures, doubling the $10 million raised by the festival community. The funds are designated for ten nonprofit organizations, such as the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Baby2Baby, to support reproductive rights, healthcare, and domestic abuse survivors. Beneficiaries also include Planned Parenthood and the National Women’s Law Center. Inspired by the legacy of Lilith Fair, the festival drew approximately 45,000 fans. The all-female lineup included Chappell Roan, Doechii, Stevie Nicks, and Alanis Morissette, with Olivia Rodrigo headlining. During the performance, Rodrigo debuted her new protest song, ‘Serena Joy’, live for the first time. While the event was a philanthropic success, attendees reported significant logistical difficulties, including poor cell service and long waits for rideshares. Following the festival, during a press conference, Rodrigo wore a dress from Nöl Collective, a Palestinian fashion label. Founder Yasmeen Mjalli described the high-profile appearance as “divine intervention,” noting that the brand had faced severe operational challenges, including the destruction of handwoven wool by Israeli customs and travel restrictions caused by Israeli army road closures. The label focuses on preserving Palestinian textile traditions through women’s cooperatives and family-run workshops. ## Claims - Olivia Rodrigo performed a duet of 'Landslide' with Stevie Nicks.
