Overview
- Karen O said on Instagram on Sunday that she missed Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields because of a family emergency and stayed with family on the East Coast.
- Rodrigo’s closing set at the Great Park in Irvine went ahead on Saturday with Stevie Nicks and Sarah McLachlan joining her and an unannounced Alanis Morissette performing in place of the absent guest.
- The one-day festival used an all-female lineup whose artists waived performance fees to raise money for organizations that support women and girls.
- Organizers reported $10 million raised before the event and Melinda French Gates matched that amount to bring the total to $20 million for 10 nonprofit groups.
- The event also saw last-minute lineup moves when KATSEYE withdrew after Megan Skiendiel injured her ankle and Devon Again was added, showing how organizers adjusted quickly while the festival met its fundraising goal.
