Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival
Daisy Chain Fields is a new initiative created by Olivia Rodrigo to combine music, community engagement, and charitable giving. The festival’s name is inspired by daisies, symbolizing beauty, resilience, and strong connections among women and girls.
The lineup includes several major artists, such as:
- Olivia Rodrigo
- Chappell Roan
- Doechii
- Katseye
- Stevie Nicks
Additional performers are expected to join the event, making it one of the most anticipated music festivals of the year.
In a social media announcement, Rodrigo expressed her excitement about bringing the project to life.
“I’ve had a dream of doing this festival for years, and I am so ecstatic it’s finally coming true. I firmly believe that joy, community, and music can be the drivers of meaningful change, and I’m hopeful this festival will be just that.”
Organizations Benefiting From the Festival
The festival will direct its net proceeds to nonprofit organizations that focus on improving the lives of women and girls around the world.
Among the beneficiaries are:
- Jhpiego, a Johns Hopkins-affiliated nonprofit specializing in maternal and child health
- Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health
- Black Mamas Matter Alliance
- National Women’s Law Center
- Planned Parenthood
These organizations work in areas such as healthcare access, reproductive rights, maternal health, legal advocacy, and Indigenous community support.
Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health Receives Support
The Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, officially established in 1991, has long focused on health equity, research, and policy initiatives that combine Indigenous knowledge with modern scientific practices.
The center has faced financial challenges in recent years due to significant federal funding reductions. According to Executive Director Allison Barlow, federal grants previously accounted for approximately 60% to 65% of the center’s funding.
To offset the losses, the organization increased grant applications and relied more heavily on private philanthropy and individual donations. Support from foundations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has helped sustain important programs.
Barlow said she was deeply moved when she learned that Rodrigo selected the center as one of the festival’s beneficiaries.

Family Spirit Program Gains National Attention
One program that particularly interested Rodrigo is Family Spirit, an initiative that trains health educators to support caregivers and young mothers during pregnancy and early childhood.
The program provides guidance on infant care, parenting skills, and family well-being. During a recent virtual meeting with Rodrigo, representatives discussed issues affecting Indigenous communities, including mental health challenges and poverty rates among Indigenous women.
Barlow described Rodrigo as thoughtful, engaged, and genuinely interested in understanding the program’s impact.
According to Barlow, the conversation became emotional when team members expressed their gratitude for Rodrigo’s support and advocacy.
Jhpiego Continues Global Health Work
Another beneficiary, Jhpiego, has been a leader in global health since 1973. The nonprofit works across more than 30 countries to improve healthcare systems, maternal health, and disease prevention programs.
Although the organization reported receiving more than $352 million in funding during fiscal year 2025, officials noted that many grants came with restrictions. Jhpiego also experienced workforce reductions during the year despite the increase in overall funding.
Support from initiatives such as Daisy Chain Fields may help expand awareness and funding opportunities for the organization’s ongoing projects.
Festival Announcement Follows Rodrigo’s New Album Success
The announcement of Daisy Chain Fields comes shortly after the release of Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.”
The album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, continuing Rodrigo’s impressive commercial success. Her previous albums, “Sour” and “Guts,” have earned multi-platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), further establishing her as one of the leading artists of her generation.
Ticket Information
Fans interested in attending the festival can participate in the presale, which begins at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Organizers expect strong demand due to the high-profile lineup and the festival’s charitable mission.
As excitement builds, Daisy Chain Fields is positioned to become a major music event while helping fund programs that support women and girls across the United States and beyond.
