Olivia Rodrigo to Guest Host on iHeartRadio Ahead of Her Inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival

Olivia Rodrigo is bringing the spirit of her inaugural benefit festival, Daisy Chain Fields, directly to listeners nationwide. The multi-platinum pop luminary has joined forces with iHeartRadio to broadcast a pair of exclusive audio specials spotlighting the event’s all-female roster, philanthropic mission, and live performances.

A Double Feature on the Airwaves

The radio takeover kicks off on Friday, August 28, at 9:00 p.m. ET, with Rodrigo taking over hosting duties for a special installment of iHeartRadio’s She Is the Voice. Throughout the hour-long broadcast, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter will walk listeners through the hand-curated lineup for Daisy Chain Fields and share insights into her chart-topping third studio LP, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

Fans can catch the debut across iHeartRadio’s nationwide alternative network, as well as digital platforms Alt Radio and She Rocks Radio. Encores will air nightly on She Rocks Radio through September 4.

The celebration continues on Monday, August 31, with iHeartRadio Presents: Olivia Rodrigo: Songs from Daisy Chain Fields. The 30-minute broadcast will deliver exclusive live recordings straight from Rodrigo’s festival performance, airing at 7:00 p.m. local time on CHR and Hot AC stations, alongside a synchronized 7:00 p.m. ET stream on Hit Nation.

Star-Studded Stage with a Purpose

Slated for Saturday, August 29, in Irvine, California, Daisy Chain Fields boasts an impressive array of talent, including performances by Chappell Roan, Doechii, and KATSEYE. Rodrigo will cap off the daylong gathering with a headline set featuring landmark appearances by legendary guest collaborators Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan, and Karen O.

“Bringing this festival to life has been an aspiration of mine for years,” Rodrigo shared regarding the project. “By uniting remarkable women across the music industry with organizations advocating for women and girls, we aim to cultivate a community anchored in hope and tangible progress.”

Amplifying Reproductive Rights and Advocacy

Every dollar generated by Daisy Chain Fields is designated for non-profit entities dedicated to gender equality and bodily autonomy, such as the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. In the weeks leading up to the concert, Rodrigo engaged directly with leaders at these organizations to amplify awareness around essential healthcare access and legislative challenges.

The initiative also coincides with Rodrigo’s surprise release of the standalone track Serena Joy—a poignant nod to The Handmaid’s Tale. Following an exclusive physical run at independent record stores, the single is now available on streaming platforms, with net proceeds directly augmenting the Daisy Chain Fields charitable fund.
