Kudos to Olivia Rodrigo for curating what just might be the best music festival<\/a> lineup of the entire year: An era-spanning array of legends and up-and-comers will assemble in Orange County for the women-fronted Daisy Chain Fields<\/a> festival.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo leads a Lilith Fair\u2013like lineup\u00a0that\u2019ll play out over two stages at Irvine\u2019s Great Park on August 29,\u00a0including\u00a0Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage, Not for Radio, Bikini Kill\u00a0and more, with Karen O, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks promised as special guests. The music is unquestionably superb, but the\u00a0logistics of it all\u00a0might leave you asking a few questions\u2014after all, this is a park usually equipped to handle about 10,000 people that\u2019ll be\u00a0expanding its capacity<\/a> to accommodate up to 45,000 fans. (For reference, the now-defunct Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on the southern edge of the park\u00a0only held around 16,000 people.)<\/p>\n

So before you pack the car and slather on some sunscreen\u2014forecasts call for highs around 90 degrees\u2014here\u2019s everything you need to know about\u00a0Daisy Chain Fields, including the set times, how to get there and whether or not you can watch from home.<\/p>\n

Are tickets still available to Daisy Chain Fields?<\/p>\n

No. Passes went on sale<\/a> in late June starting at $250 and very quickly sold out; an early-July sale gave Verizon subscribers another opportunity while\u00a0a volunteer drive<\/a>\u00a0raffled off a small number of tickets. There\u2019s no official resale market for the fest, so if you do see wristbands up for sale, purchase at your own risk.<\/p>\n

Net proceeds from ticket sales benefitted nonprofits<\/a> advocating for women and girls, including Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, the National Women\u2019s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

Can I stream Daisy Chain Fields?<\/p>\n

No, at least not officially.\u00a0On the eve of the fest, organizers have yet to announce any sort of live stream.\u00a0But\u00a0this is a music festival\u00a0in 2026: You can practically guarantee that\u00a0more than a few attendees will broadcast major sets live on social media.<\/p>\n

Where exactly is Daisy Chain Fields taking place?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s being staged at Great Park, a decommissioned military airport in Irvine that\u2019s been converted into a\u00a0more-than-500-acre park space (with considerably more still to come). The official\u00a0festival address is 8000 Great Park Boulevard, Irvine, CA 92618. In practical terms, the fest is taking over the fields surrounding the park\u2019s recognizable tethered helium balloon; the entrance and exit are just to the west, at soccer field 6, and the main stage appears to be taking over the four fields just to the east.<\/p>\n

So how can I get to the festival? Is there parking? A shuttle? What about by train?<\/p>\n

Grab a snack, because this part gets a little complicated. Yes, there\u2019s on-site parking in a handful of\u00a0lots on the grounds\u2019 northwest side, as well as at Wild Rivers Waterpark\u2014or rather there\u00a0was, as these $100 passes are all sold out.<\/p>\n

You can, however, still buy shuttle passes<\/a> for a few park-and-ride spots in Orange County: in Anaheim, by the Honda Center at OCVIBE<\/a>\u00a0(2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806),\u00a0as well as at UC Irvine, including the\u00a0UC Irvine Health and Science Parking Structure (5100 California Ave, Irvine, CA 92617),\u00a0UC Irvine Lot 70 (4590 Health Sciences Rd, Irvine, CA 92617) and UC Irvine Mesa Parking Structure (4002 Mesa Rd, Irvine CA 92617). Shuttle passes are priced at $50 per person (not per vehicle), and organizers note that these will drop you off closer to the main entrance than other means and will be able to take advantage of routes otherwise closed to regular traffic.<\/p>\n

There are also two rideshare drop-off and pickup locations, one at\u00a0Lot P4 (8000-8200 Great Park Blvd, Irvine, CA 92618) that appears to be about a mile to the entrance, and another at Discovery Park (500 Technology Dr, Irvine, CA 92618), which would be more like a 1.5-mile walk\u2014thankfully, complimentary shuttles will run between that one and the entrance. There\u2019s also a no-waiting, no-lingering parent pickup and drop-off area (10000 Great Park Blvd Irvine, CA 92618) near the Wild Rivers lot.<\/p>\n

And finally, there\u2019s public transit. You\u2019ll find two train stations with connections to the festival: Irvine is actually relatively close to the grounds, but there\u2019s no easy walking path to the grounds so you\u2019ll need to use rideshare services; Anaheim, meanwhile, will take advantage of the parking shuttles, which means you need to buy a $50 shuttle pass on top of your train ticket. Amtrak offers the most frequent service getting there, with trains roughly every hour from Union Station that\u2019ll get you to Anaheim for $16 or Irvine for $19\u2014but only one return train that you might need to duck out early to make. Metrolink\u2019s service getting there is less frequent but cheaper: On weekends, you can get unlimited rides<\/a> for the entire day for only $10. Plus, the agency will be operating an extra late-night, post-fest train<\/a> on the lines to L.A., Oceanside and San Bernardino.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are the set times and schedule?<\/p>\n

The festival will take place across two stages: the smaller Marigold Stage to the west, and the main Dandelion Stage to the southeast. No set times<\/a> will overlap. Olivia Rodrigo will take the Dandelion Stage at 8:40pm and perform until 10pm, but there are plenty of other worthwhile sets, so we\u2019ve included the schedule as both a poster and text below; note that\u00a0KATSEYE had to drop out last-minute (due to\u00a0member Megan Skiendiel\u2019s sprained ankle) and has been replaced by Devon Again.<\/p>\n
