Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo’s music festival comes to Irvine on Saturday.
The one-day event “celebrates the voices, artistry, and contributions of women in music, fostering an inclusive environment in which all are welcome,” Rodrigo said in the festival’s mission statement.
Some of the biggest musicians in the world are joining Rodrigo, including Chappell Roan, Mitski, Doechii and Garbage.
The festival also features some legendary special guests, including Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Karen O.
The music is raising money toward a good cause, too.
“Net proceeds from the festival are directed toward nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls,” Rodrigo said. “Beyond its philanthropic impact, Daisy Chain’s core purpose is to cultivate joy and shared understanding, creating space for meaningful moments of connection across generations and communities.
“Daisies are wild and beautiful. As a chain, they are strong and unbreakable.”
