Olivia Rodrigo hosted the first-ever Daisy Chain Fields festival, which took place at Great Park in Irvine, California. The event featured a lineup predominantly composed of women artists, including performances from Stevie Nicks, Chappell Roan, Doechii, and Sarah McLachlan. The festival successfully raised $20 million, reportedly bolstered by a significant donation from Melinda French Gates.

In addition to the music, Rodrigo wore a dress adorned with Palestinian tatreez, drawing attention to Palestinian heritage. This fashion choice was highlighted alongside other notable attendees such as Bella Hadid and Saja Kilani, who also focused on cultural representation during the festival.

The festival aimed to support various nonprofits dedicated to women's health, workplace protections, and legal rights. Fans showed strong enthusiasm for the cause, as many gathered to enjoy the performances while contributing to the fundraising efforts.
