Legendary feminist punk pioneers Bikini Kill announced that they will perform at Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival at Great Park on August 29 in Irvine, California. Net profits from ticket sales will go to nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls, such as the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, and Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health. All of the artists have agreed not to take a profit from their performances.

Pre-sale: Wednesday, June 24 at 1pm EST.

Daisy Chain Fields is a music festival founded on the belief that joy, community, and creativity can inspire meaningful change. It affirms that music and collective experience can serve as enduring drivers of progress and social change. It’s a place where inspiration and curiosity lead to knowledge, strength and action.

The festival celebrates the voices, artistry, and contributions of women in music fostering an inclusive environment in which all are welcome. Daisy Chain offers more than live performances; it provides opportunities for education, dialogue, and engagement around issues affecting women and girls in the United States and globally. Through partnerships and on-site resources, the festival seeks to ensure that girls and young people have access to information and support they may not otherwise know how to find, and real-life interactions with women and girls who are bright lights in our world.

Daisys are wild and beautiful. As a chain, they are strong and unbreakable – Olivia Rodrigo

Bikini Kill regrouped in 2019 for their first full shows since 1997, during a time when we need their political rally cry more than ever and have since performed to sold out crowds across the globe. This tour sees the band performing with their iconic line-up of Kathleen Hanna on vocals, Tobi Vail on drums, and Kathi Wilcox on bass — along with guitarist Sara Landeau. Hailed by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The Los Angeles Times, the Bikini Kill reunion has sparked critical discussion on the band’s legacy and influence on culture and music today with Entertainment Weekly, NYLON, The New York Times. For a taste of the band’s electrifying live show, watch them perform feminist anthem “Rebel Girl” LIVE on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Kathleen Hanna’s New York Times bestselling memoir Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk was released to widespread fan and critical acclaim and she hosts the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s acclaimed Music Makes Us podcast.

The band has added additional appearances to their expansive 2026 North American Fall tour, which is now nearly half sold out, including LEVITATION in Austin and CBGB Fest in NYC. The band is thrilled to bring a dazzling lineup of support acts for the run: Alice Bag, Lambrini Girls, Ganser, Kilynn Lunsford, The Intima. Fans on the west coast can also experience the band’s formidable live show this summer as they headline Mosswood Meltdown on Sunday, July 19. Tickets for all dates are available here.
