I've had a dream of doing this festival for years, and I am so ecstatic it's finally coming true!! Daisy Chain Fields features an all-women lineup and 100 per cent of the net proceeds will go to charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls."
She added, "The lineup is truly insane and full of my heroes and friends," she continued. "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. I absolutely cannot wait to scream and dance and sing with you guys on August 29th!!!!"

As someone who enjoys music festivals like NH7 Weekender here in India, this is a bold move by Olivia. But I'm slightly skeptical about "all-female" lineups — shouldn't music transcend gender? Still, the charity angle is noble. Wish they'd include some Indian women artists next time! 🎸
Stevie Nicks! Bikini Kill! Garbage! This lineup is *chef's kiss*. As a Gen Z Indian girl who grew up on Olivia's music, seeing her champion women's reproductive rights and domestic workers is powerful. But I hope the charities are transparent — some of these orgs have controversial stances globally. Still, big fan moment! 💜
Can we appreciate that she's donating all proceeds? Most Western artists make big announcements but rarely back it up with action like this. However, the charities seem very US-centric — would have loved to see some international women's NGOs. As an Indian, I feel global events should have global impact. Still, good for her! 👏
Okay but why is no one talking about Mitski and Chappell Roan in the same lineup?! 😭😭 This is literally my dream festival. And Olivia's new album "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love" is fire — I've had it on loop since release. Hope they consider adding an India date to the tour! 🇮🇳✨
Respectful critique: All-female lineups are great for representation, but aren't they inherently exclusionary? Music should bring people together,
