Daisy Chain Festival: A New Era of Female-Led Music Hits Irvine’s Great Park

Get ready for a musical revolution! The City of Irvine has officially announced the debut of the Daisy Chain Festival (officially known as Daisy Chain Fields), a visionary music event founded by global superstar Olivia Rodrigo and produced by the industry giants at C3 Presents. Marking its first appearance on August 29, 2026, this festival promises to be more than just a concert—it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the powerhouse talent of women in music.

An Electrifying, Female-Driven Lineup

The Daisy Chain Festival is setting a new standard for inclusivity and talent. The newly unveiled lineup is a dynamic tapestry of genres, featuring an incredible array of female-led artists across two massive stages. Music fans can look forward to performances by:

n
• Headliners & Icons: Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks, and Chappell Roan.
• Alternative & Indie Powerhouses: Mitski, Garbage, The Breeders, and Bikini Kill.
• Modern Innovators: Doechii, KATSEYE, Santigold, and Die Spitz.
• Rising Stars & Soulful Voices: Rachel Chinourir, Quiet Light, Not For Radio, and Eli.
• Special Guests: Legendary appearances by Karen O and Sarah McLachlan.

Music with a Mission: Supporting Women’s Rights

Beyond the melodies, the Daisy Chain Festival is rooted in purpose. In a powerful move to give back, proceeds from the event will benefit a prestigious group of organizations dedicated to health, equality, and reproductive rights. Beneficiaries include Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Baby2Baby, the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, and the National Women’s Law Center, among others.

The Great Park: A World-Class Destination

The venue, Irvine’s Great Park, is currently experiencing a golden era. Following its role as the home base for the U.S. Men’s National Team during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the park is cementing its status as a premier global destination for sports and entertainment.

To accommodate the massive anticipation for the Daisy Chain Festival, the park is expanding its capabilities. While Great Park Live has recently increased its capacity to 10,000 guests, the festival will utilize additional park spaces to build a main stage capable of welcoming up to 45,000 fans.

What’s Next for Great Park?

The excitement doesn’t stop with the music. The park is undergoing a massive $1 billion development investment. One of the most anticipated additions is The Canopy, a 90,000+ square-foot boutique food and retail hub slated to open in late 2026, providing visitors with a full day of luxury and entertainment.
