Continuing the lineup is the phenomenal Chappell Roan. Roan’s rise to fame was a slow burn up until her 2023 single “HOT TO GO!” skyrocketed her into the limelight. While it took some time for people to catch on to the masterpiece that is The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023), the appreciation of her work spread rapidly, and by 2025, she became one of the biggest, openly lesbian artists to grace the pop music scene. When the long awaited release of “The Subway” arrived, it debuted at No. 1 on the global Spotify music chart. Not only an incredible performer and a powerhouse when it comes to vocals, Roan has never shied away from expressing her beliefs and standing up for what she believes in. Roan and Rodrigo also have history together, as Roan opened for Rodrigo at a few shows on her SOUR tour. She’s also been a surprise guest at one of Rodrigo’s shows, and this festival proves their continued support for one another.

The festival isn’t limited to pop music artists; hip hop and rap artist Doechii will be performing at the festival as well. Doechii made huge waves in the rap scene when she released her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal in 2024. Tracks like “DENIAL IS A RIVER” and “NISSAN ALTIMA” brought the masses’ attention to Doechii’s artistry, making her a prominent queer artist within her genre. Proof of her talent came with the 2025 Grammy’s, where Doechii won Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal. She’s another outstanding performer included on this lineup, which is especially evident in her 2025 Grammy’s performance of “CATFISH/DENIAL IS A RIVER.” 

Diversifying the genres at this festival is also Mitski, who is a big name in the indie rock/folk scene. Known specifically for her skilled lyricism and ability to appeal to listeners’ emotions, Mitski became renowned in her scene as early as 2012 with her debut album Lush. Still a student at SUNY Purchase, Mitski demonstrated early on an incredible ability to craft music that hits the listener right in the heart. Her reputation was established with “Class of 2013” in 2013—a showstopping, harrowing piece of music. Mitski’s lyricism hits home for many listeners, making her a distinguished artist in the “sad girl” music scene.

This only scratches the surface of the star-studded lineup this festival features, with other artists like Not for Radio, Rachel Chinouriri, and even the esteemed Stevie Nicks slated to perform.

Daisy Chain’s Purpose: Mission Statement and Charity Involvement

Beyond the stacked lineup of artists, Daisy Chain Fields stands out as the only music festival to feature solely artists that identify as women. As more and more festivals pop up, people have taken notice of the lack of female and queer representation in popular festival lineups. Rodrigo’s festival provides the necessary amplification of women’s voices in the music industry, all while creating a festival environment safe for women and queer individuals. It promotes community and how creativity can “inspire meaningful change.” The other astounding element of this festival is that 100% of net proceeds are going towards charities that advocate and support women. There’s a lengthy list of organizations Rodrigo has announced she will donate to, but to name a few: Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, National Institute for Reproductive Health, and John Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health. Additional information can be found on the Daisy Chain Fields Instagram account (@daisychainfields) for further research on these foundations and how they provide support.
Rodrigo has achieved incredible feats in her early career, and this festival is one of them. The festival completely sold out in a mere 30 minutes, proving the hype and necessity for this kind of amplification of women’s voices and creation of a safe space. This festival is one-of-a-kind and will go on to be a legendary example of using one’s fame for good.
