Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival Raises $10 Million in Support for Women & Girls

Olivia Rodrigo‘s Daisy Chain Fields music festival is just one day away and she just revealed that the event has raised $10 million to benefit the 10 nonprofit partners.

The Grammy-winning superstar attended a special presentation ahead of the festival on Friday (August 28) in Santa Monica, Calif.

Olivia was joined by leaders from the nonprofit partners, who are working to address some of the most urgent issues facing women and girls in the U.S. and around the globe.

Olivia said in a statement, “Daisy Chain Fields was created to celebrate the power of what can happen when we come together to support one another. The organizations we’ve partnered with are doing incredibly important work every single day in the US and globally. I’m so grateful to every person who bought a ticket, every artist who waived their fee, every sponsor for signing onto a brand new festival, and every donation that helped get to $10 million dollars to support women and girls. I can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!”

The sold-out music festival, taking place on August 29 in Irvine, California, was created to bring together artists, nonprofit organizations and fans to turn the power of music and fandom into action and impact for women and girls, with 100% of net proceeds from the festival benefitting its 10 nonprofit partners.
