IRVINE \u2014 Olivia Rodrigo bridged generations Saturday night as the headlining act at her Daisy Chain Fields<\/a> festival, where the 23-year-old pop star brought Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette to the stage for duets that demonstrated the enduring value of sharp, smart songwriting about women\u2019s emotional lives.<\/p>\n

With McLachlan, Rodrigo sang \u201cBuilding a Mystery\u201d and \u201cAngel,\u201d which the two dedicated to Dolly Parton<\/a>, who died Tuesday at age 80; with Morissette (who filled in for a missing Karen O), Rodrigo did the former\u2019s iconic mid-\u201990s hit \u201cIronic.\u201d Later, Nicks came out to close the show with a duet of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s \u201cLandslide,\u201d inspiring a mass singalong in the audience of approximately 45,000 at Great Park Live. After the song, Nicks stuck around to deliver an apparently extemporaneous tribute to Rodrigo\u2019s artistry and activism that seemed to push the younger singer close to tears.<\/p>\n

Held a few months after the release of Rodrigo\u2019s third studio album, \u201cYou Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/a>,\u201d Daisy Chain Fields offered 10 hours of music by all women acts, including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Garbage, Not for Radio, the Breeders and Mitski, among others. On Friday, Rodrigo announced that the festival would donate $10 million to an array of organizations working for women\u2019s rights and reproductive justice.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s headlining set mixed new songs from \u201cYou Seem Pretty Sad\u201d \u2014 one highlight was \u201cMaggots for Brains,\u201d a euphoric pop-punk jam about going crazy in a lover\u2019s absence \u2014 with oldies from her first two LPs, 2021\u2019s Grammy-winning \u201cSour\u201d and 2023\u2019s triple-platinum \u201cGuts.\u201d Rodrigo also debuted a just-released tune called \u201cSerena Joy,\u201d which she titled after a character in Margaret Atwood\u2019s \u201cThe Handmaid\u2019s Tale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IRVINE \u2014 Olivia Rodrigo bridged generations Saturday night as the headlining act at her Daisy Chain Fields festival,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[177380,69156,24481,177376,29345,177379,177381,48,52,51,47,50,49,177377,145504,15157,124990,150220,150221,1557,177378],"class_list":["post-447959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-alanis-morissette","tag-bikini-kill","tag-breeders","tag-daisy-chain-fields","tag-doechii","tag-duet","tag-idol","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-olivia-rodrigo-commune","tag-pretty-sad","tag-right","tag-rodrigo","tag-sarah-mclachlan","tag-stevie-nicks","tag-woman","tag-young-singer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
