On Saturday, Olivia Rodrigo hosted her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, where philanthropist Melinda French Gates pledged to double the fundraising total to $20 million.
Inspired by the 1997 Lilith Fair, Rodrigo created the festival to "celebrate the power of what can happen when we come together" and support women's health and future autonomy.
A crowd of 45,000 attended the event featuring artists including Stevie Nicks and Alanis Morissette, who joined Rodrigo onstage for special performances of "Landslide" and "Ironic."
Funds will be distributed equally among 10 beneficiary organizations, including Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights, advancing advocacy work focused on women's health.
Organizers have hinted the festival will return, sharing an Instagram post captioned "One year down, and well just keep growing," suggesting plans to expand in future years.
