An 11-year-old got sleepy watching Alanis Morissette. Her dad waited 2 hours for $27 chicken fingers. Daisy Chain Fields still delivered.
Key Points:
- Olivia Rodrigo's inaugural Daisy Chain Fields music festival in Irvine, California, featured a cross-generational lineup of women artists from ages 23 to 78, including Stevie Nicks and Alanis Morissette, aiming to benefit women and girls.
- Attendees praised the festival's positive, supportive atmosphere and diverse music acts, though many faced long food and merchandise lines and struggled with intense sun exposure due to limited shade.
- Highlights included emotional performances by Olivia with Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks, as well as energetic sets by Chappell Roan and Doechii, with some younger attendees unfamiliar with '90s icons like Alanis Morissette.
- The festival emphasized its feminist cause through nonprofit booths and symbolic installations celebrating women's rights milestones, raising $20 million for groups supporting women and girls.
- Organizers announced plans to hold Daisy Chain Fields again next year, with some attendees eager to return and others hoping for a more streamlined experience.
