The reporting
Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, raised $10 million for nonprofits supporting women and girls, then reached $20 million through a matching commitment from Melinda French Gates. The benefit was held at Great Park and drew a women-led lineup that included Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Santigold and Rodrigo as headliner. Rodrigo’s set included appearances by Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette. The money is aimed at groups working on women’s health, workplace protections and legal rights.
