Olivia Rodrigo’s New Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival Was ‘Directly Inspired’ by Sarah McLachlan and Lilith Fair

Rodrigo was included in last year’s documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery – The Untold Story, which explored the legacy of the '90s all-women music fest founded by McLachlan. When planning her new festival, she says the first person she called was that iconic Canadian singer-songwriter.

Olivia Rodrigo's new Daisy Chain Fields festival takes place on August 29 in Irvine, California, and it has a Canadian inspiration: Sarah McLachlan and Lilith Fair.

Rodrigo revealed to Pitchfork that she was “directly inspired” by the late ‘90s all-female-fronted music festival, Lilith Fair, co-founded by Canadian icon Sarah McLachlan.
