Rodrigo Channels Lilith Fair Spirit for Women in Music
20 Jul
Summary
- Olivia Rodrigo's festival benefits women's health and indigenous health organizations.
- Lilith Fair proved audiences supported multiple female artists on one bill.
- The original Lilith Fair generated millions and supported charities.
Olivia Rodrigo is reviving the spirit of the 1997 Lilith Fair with her new festival, Daisy Chain Fields, set to take place on August 29 in Irvine, California. This sold-out event will feature prominent female solo artists and women-fronted bands, echoing the original festival's mission.
Lilith Fair was founded by Sarah McLachlan after promoters doubted audiences would support multiple female acts on one stage. The festival defied expectations, becoming the top-grossing event of 1997 and generating significant revenue for women's charities.
Proceeds from Daisy Chain Fields will support organizations including Planned Parenthood and the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, continuing Lilith Fair's philanthropic legacy. Artists like Stevie Nicks and Sarah McLachlan are expected to appear.
