Olivia Rodrigo brought out Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan during her headline set at Daisy Chain Fields – watch below.
The one-day event was conceived by Rodrigo and took place at Great Park in Irvine, California yesterday (August 29), with the singer topping the bill and closing the Dandelion Stage.
The first guest to join her was McLachlan, with Rodrigo telling the crowd that without Lilith Fair, the pioneering women-led touring festival that McLachlan founded in 1997, “there would be no Daisy Chain”.
They played a pair of McLachlan’s songs, ‘Building A Mystery’ and ‘Angel’, and dedicated them to Dolly Parton, who died earlier this week at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer.
Morissette later joined Rodrigo for a duet of her 1996 hit ‘Ironic’, before Nicks came out to round out the show with a stunning version of Fleetwood Mac‘s 1975 classic ‘Landslide’.
Rodrigo also gave a live debut to her new song ‘Serena Joy’, a politically-charged track that was inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale and was released on streaming platforms this week after an initial exclusive run of 500 CDs sold only at a record store near the California festival.

Rodrigo had previously teased the possibility of performing ‘Landslide’ with Nicks at the festival. Shortly after announcing the line-up, she was asked which song she hoped to sing during her set, to which she replied: “‘Landslide’, maybe? We’ll see. Fingers crossed.”
Alongside Rodrigo, the inaugural edition also included performances from Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Bikini Kill, The Breeders, Garbage, Santigold, Rachel Chinouriri, Die Spitz, and others.
Devon Again joined the line-up after KATSEYE withdrew shortly before the festival, following Megan Skiendiel spraining her ankle during rehearsals for the group’s tour.
All participating artists waived their performance fees, while the festival’s net proceeds will support non-profit organisations advocating for women and girls. Daisy Chain Fields also hosted educational resources, community art projects and installations focused on reproductive rights, maternal health, economic empowerment, domestic violence prevention and gender equality.
Rodrigo released her third album ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’ in June.
NME awarded the record four-and-a-half stars, writing: “Here is a major popstar who is not afraid to get weirder and more wonderful, to give even more of themselves over in their art. ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’ is undeniable evidence of Rodrigo’s growth: as a songwriter, composer, and as a human being.”
She will begin her extensive ‘Unraveled’ world tour next month, with support across the run coming from Wolf Alice, The Last Dinner Party, Devon Again, Grace Ives and Die Spitz. The tour is scheduled to reach The O2 in London in May 2027.
