Olivia Rodrigo was joined by Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, and Stevie Nicks during the closing set of her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields music festival in Irvine, California, on Saturday night. The one-day festival, featuring an all-female lineup, was conceptualized by Rodrigo herself and inspired by the mission and ethos of Lilith Fair, with the goal of benefiting charities supporting women and girls. By night’s end, more than $20 million and counting had been raised for those organizations.
As part of her 17-song headlining set, Olivia Rodrigo performed fan favorites including “bad idea right?”, “good 4 u,” “drivers license,” “all-american bitch,” and “deja vu,” as well as material from her newly released third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. She also offered the live debut of “serena joy,” her just-released track featuring politically charged lyrics about complicity within oppressive systems.
The Festival Lineup and Performances
As for Rodrigo’s guests, she was first joined by Sarah McLachlan, explaining that “Without Lilith Fair there would be no Daisy Chain.” Together, they performed “Building a Mystery” and “Angel,” with the latter dedicated to the late Dolly Parton. Alanis Morissette filled in for the previously announced guest Karen O, joining Rodrigo to perform “Ironic” from Morissette’s beloved Jagged Little Pill.
To close the evening, Rodrigo brought out Stevie Nicks to perform “Landslide.” “She reminds me of me, when I was her age a hundred years ago,” Nicks told the crowd of Rodrigo. “And I’m somewhat awestruck that she could do all this. Because it’s so hard… putting this together with all of these people. And she’s done it, with this grace.”
Upcoming Tour and Charity Work
In September, Rodrigo will embark on her “Unraveled Tour.” The Daisy Chain Fields festival has already made a significant impact, raising over $20 million for charities supporting women and girls. Rodrigo’s efforts to support these organizations will continue with her upcoming tour.
The setlist for Rodrigo’s performance at Daisy Chain Fields included: drop dead, bad idea right?, good 4 u, my way, serena joy (live debut), maggots for brains, Play Video, Building a Mystery (with Sarah McLachlan), Angel (with Sarah McLachlan), honeybee, drivers license, the cure (with Alanis Morissette), expectations, (extended outro), all-american bitch, deja vu, and Landslide (with Stevie Nicks).
