Olivia Rodrigo’s one-day festival in the United States raised $20 million, or more than 17 million euros, for charities supporting women and girls.
Daisy Chain Fields took place last Friday in Irvine, California. Only female artists or bands with female lead singers performed. Rodrigo headlined alongside Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski and Stevie Nicks.
The festival drew 45,000 people, while the cheapest ticket cost $250, about 215 euros. Proceeds will fund the work of organizations serving women and girls.
The event was inspired by Lilith Fair, the festival founded by Canadian artist Sarah McLachlan in the late 1990s. McLachlan also performed at Daisy Chain Fields.
