Olivia Rodrigo has “Real Big Expectations” and Yet She Keeps Exceeding Ours

Graphic by Casey Byrne On August 29 in Irvine, California, singer-songwriter and philanthropist Olivia Rodrigo hosted Daisy Chain Fields, one of the most successful not-for-profit music festivals this year. The festival was inspired by Sarah McLachan’s 1997 festival Lilith Fair. Rodrigo, as she has often done in the past, honors the artists that have inspired her by inviting them to perform on stage with her. McLachan was no exception as she sang with Rodrigo an homage to Dolly Parton, who passed just four days before the festival. Both Rodrigo’s and McLachan’s festivals only had female artists performing. It is important to note that every artist that performed during Daisy Chain Fields did it for free. The lineup included Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage, Mitski, The Breeders, Bikini Kill, Die Spitz, Eli, Not For Radio, Quiet Light, Rachel Chinouriri, Santigold, and special guests.
