Overview
- Rodrigo announced the festival Tuesday and confirmed it will take place on August 29, 2026, at Great Park in Irvine with presale registration opening June 24 and presale starting at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
- The bill lists contemporary acts such as Chappell Roan, Doechii, Katseye and Mitski alongside bands like The Breeders, Bikini Kill and Garbage with guest appearances by Stevie Nicks, Karen O and Sarah McLachlan.
- The festival will donate 100% of net proceeds to charities focused on women and girls and named partners reported so far include Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Baby2Baby and the Black Mamas Matter Alliance.
- Several outlets report that many invited artists agreed to perform without taking economic benefits to maximize donations, though formal details of payments and charity agreements have not been centralized in a single public release.
- The project draws directly on Lilith Fair’s model of an all‑female roster and charity giving, and it could widen fundraising and visibility for reproductive health, maternal and anti‑violence organizations while testing interest in large‑scale, gender‑focused festivals; organizers’ follow-up on beneficiary agreements and full logistics will be key to watch.
