Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan and Bikini Kill are headed to Irvine. Yes, you read that right
Topline:
Presale is underway for the largest music festival to hit the Great Park in Irvine. The Daisy Chain Fields music festival, founded by Olivia Rodrigo, will feature Chappell Roan, Stevie Nicks and more.
What you need to know: It will be held on Aug. 29 and is expected to draw 45,000 guests. Tickets range from $250 to $1,250.
Getting there: Parking passes will cost $95. Shuttles to the festival will also be available from UC Irvine and the Honda Center for $50 per person. Those tickets must be purchased in advance because seats are limited.
Who is playing? An all-woman setlist includes Bikini Kill, Die Spitz, Doechii, Eli, Garbage, KATSEYE, Mitski, Not For Radio, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinourir, Santigold, and The Breeders, all across two stages. Special guests include Karen O, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks.
What else is there? All proceeds from the festival will go to 10 nonprofit partners, including the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health and Planned Parenthood.
Officials say: Irvine Mayor Larry Agran said in a statement, “This summer has been nothing short of exceptional, with the U.S. Men’s National Team making the Great Park its home base while competing in the 2026 World Cup, and now Daisy Chain Fields bringing a modern-day celebration of women in music, creativity, and community to Irvine.”
