Daisy Chain Fields 2026: What Tickets Cost, Who Played, and the 2027 Return

Update log (1)
  • — Rewritten on 2 September 2026 after the festival took place. Recast from a live ticket guide to a post-event record: added the 29 August outcome (about 45,000 attendees, $10m raised and doubled to $20m by Melinda French Gates' Pivotal), corrected the lineup (KATSEYE withdrew and was replaced by Devon Again; Karen O missed her guest slot and Alanis Morissette appeared instead), removed the dead waitlist/shuttle availability claims, and added the confirmed 2027 return.

Tickets to Daisy Chain Fields — Olivia Rodrigo’s new all-women festival — went on presale Wednesday, June 24 at 10 a.m. PT through the official festival website, and they sold out: every tier ended on the official ticket page reading “On Waitlist”, with the hotel-package listing marking the festival ticket itself “SOLD OUT”. General admission was listed at $255. The one-day event took place on Saturday, August 29, 2026 at Great Park in Irvine, California, where a crowd of roughly 45,000 saw Chappell Roan, Doechii and a headline set from Rodrigo that brought out Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette — and raised $20 million for ten nonprofits. Here’s what tickets cost, who actually played, the honest answer about “presale codes”, and what is known about 2027.

When did Daisy Chain Fields tickets go on sale?

The presale began Wednesday, June 24, 2026 at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET), through the festival’s official website, open to people who had registered their interest ahead of time.

Tickets were sold first-come, first-served, and organizers had said they expected demand to outweigh supply. That is how it went. By the week of the festival the official ticket page listed General Admission, GA+, VIP and Pit Viewing all as “On Waitlist”, each with the same line where the buy button used to be: “Join the waitlist for a chance to grab tickets if more become available!” The hotel-and-ticket package listing was blunter still — the hotel stay marked “AVAILABLE”, the festival ticket “SOLD OUT”. Around 45,000 people ultimately attended.

How much were Daisy Chain Fields tickets?

Four tiers were priced on the official site, all of them waitlist-only by the week of the show. In US dollars, and the site stated its prices carried “No Hidden Fees”:

The four Daisy Chain Fields 2026 ticket tiers and their prices

TierPrice (USD)Final status
General Admission$255Sold out / waitlist
GA+$355Sold out / waitlist
VIP$505Sold out / waitlist
Pit Viewing$1,255Sold out / waitlist

Getting there is priced separately: a Park & Ride Shuttle Pass is $50 per person, a Parking Pass $100 per car. Shuttle passes stayed on sale longest — the festival homepage was still pushing “park & ride shuttle passes still available!!!” in the final week — while the on-site parking pass sold out and joined the tickets on the waitlist. The homepage banner now reads “thank you for your overwhelming support of daisy chain fields!!!”.

It’s worth remembering the cause behind the price tag: 100% of the festival’s net proceeds went to nonprofits dedicated to advancing the rights, health, and wellbeing of women and girls. Ticket sales raised $10 million, and Melinda French Gates announced from the stage on the day that her organisation Pivotal would match it — taking the total to $20 million, split equally between Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the National Institute for Reproductive Health, the National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood. Every artist on the bill waived their fee.

Is there a Daisy Chain Fields presale code?

No — and it’s worth clearing up, because “presale code” is what many people search for. Daisy Chain Fields didn’t use a traditional code-based presale. Instead, it was a sign-up system on the official website followed by a first-come, first-served sale.

How the Daisy Chain Fields on-sale worked

So there was nothing to hunt for in June, and there is nothing to hunt for now: the 2026 event is over, and the official ticket page has been replaced by a form headed “Sign up for first access to 2027 Tickets!”. Expect the same warning to apply next year — be wary of anyone offering a “guaranteed” code or a spare ticket, and only buy through the official website — high-demand festival tickets are a frequent target for scams and inflated resale, so treat third-party sellers and direct-message offers with caution.

Who played Daisy Chain Fields? (Full lineup)

Olivia Rodrigo curated an entirely female and female-fronted lineup spanning several generations of artists, playing across two stages — the main Dandelion Stage and the smaller Marigold Stage — with no overlapping set times. The lineup as it played on the day:

LineupSpecial guests
Olivia RodrigoStevie Nicks
Chappell RoanSarah McLachlan
DoechiiAlanis Morissette
Mitski
KATSEYE
Garbage
Bikini Kill
The Breeders
Santigold
Rachel Chinouriri
Die Spitz
Quiet Light
Eli
Not for Radio

Two names changed in the final week. KATSEYE pulled out on 28 August after member Megan Skiendiel sprained her ankle in rehearsal, and Devon Again — who opens dates on Rodrigo’s upcoming tour — was added in their place; three KATSEYE members still appeared briefly on stage before Devon Again’s set. Karen O, announced as a special guest, missed the show for what she described as a family emergency, and Alanis Morissette turned up unannounced to perform “Ironic” with Rodrigo instead.

Rodrigo has said the festival was inspired by Lilith Fair, Sarah McLachlan’s pioneering all-women tour of the late 1990s — which made McLachlan’s appearance as a special guest a fitting full-circle moment.

Where and when was Daisy Chain Fields?

The festival took place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Great Park in Irvine, California — roughly an hour south of Los Angeles. It was a single-day event across two stages, built out around Great Park Live, the city-owned amphitheatre, with a main stage on additional park land; the city planned for up to 45,000 fans, and roughly that many attended. As the inaugural edition it was positioned as a community-focused celebration of women in music, with charity partners and advocacy groups on site alongside the performances.

The bottom line

The presale came and went on June 24, and the tickets went with it: General Admission at $255 through Pit Viewing at $1,255 all show “On Waitlist” on the official site, which is now counting down — “Daisy Chain Fields arrives this week!” — to a one-day, all-women lineup headlined by Olivia Rodrigo on August 29 in Irvine. If you missed it, the waitlist is the only official route left; if you’re going, park & ride shuttle passes are still on sale at $50. There was never a presale code to hunt for. Above all, buy only through official channels.

Will there be a Daisy Chain Fields 2027?

Yes. Rodrigo told the crowd “I will see you next year” from the stage alongside Stevie Nicks, and signed off an Instagram post after the festival with “until next yearrrrr”. No date, venue or lineup has been announced. The official ticket page has already been replaced with a form headed “Sign up for first access to 2027 Tickets!” — that signup, not any third-party seller, is the thing to join if you want a shot at tickets. If 2027 follows the 2026 pattern, an on-sale would fall in spring.
