Sarah McLachlan and Olivia Rodrigo perform at Daisy Chain Fields 2026 at on Aug. 29, 2026 in Irvine, California. Monica Schipper/Getty Images Olivia Rodrigo promised some special guests for her headlining Daisy Chain Fields set, and she didn’t disappoint. The star recruited her heroes Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morisette, and Stevie Nicks to the stage at Irvine, California’s Great Park on Saturday night.
Rodrigo’s all-women festival — which donated $10 million to nonprofits benefitting women and girls — was inspired by Lilith Fair, the iconic traveling festival from the late Nineties. Lilith Fair was founded by McLachlan, so it only made sense that the trailblazer join Rodrigo onstage. They first duetted on McLachlan’s “Building a Mystery,” followed by her heart-wrenching hit “Angel,” which they dedicated to the late Dolly Parton, who died on Aug. 25 at the age of 80. McLachlan described Parton as “the O.G. matriarch, beautiful goddess” and “the biggest philanthropist” of country music.

Rodrigo then brought out Morissette, who filled in for Karen O after the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer had to withdraw from the festival. They delivered a scorching “Ironic,” from Morissette’s 1995 masterpiece Jagged Little Pill. The duo first performed together back in May 2022 at the Greek Theatre in L.A., during Rodrigo’s Sour tour, when they sang “You Outta Know.” Tonight, they were beaming with happiness over being back onstage together.
Rodrigo and Morissette first met in 2021, when they both appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone for our annual Musicians on Musicians issue. “I remember having my mind blown when I was 13,” Rodrigo told Morissette in the interview. “I was in the car with my parents listening to Jagged Little Pill. I remember hearing ‘Perfect,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, my God.’ I told my music teacher a couple days after: ‘You can write songs like that?’ I just looked at music and songwriting in a completely different way.”

Later at Daisy Chain, Rodrigo brought out the Gold Dust Woman herself. Nicks and Rodrigo enchanted the crowd with “Landslide,” trading verses while dancing together. “She reminds me of me, when I was her age a hundred years ago,” Nicks told the crowd of Rodrigo. “And I’m somewhat awestruck that she could do all this. Because it’s so hard, you have no idea, putting this together with all of these people. And she’s done it, with this grace.”
