By midday at Daisy Chain Fields , the music was only part of the draw to the festival on Saturday, Aug. 29.
Across Great Park in Irvine, festivalgoers packed into lines for some of the event’s many hands-on activations , leaning into a crafty, DIY spirit that extended beyond the two stages.
Fans could personalize pieces, add a little sparkle to their festival looks, or simply find a place to hang out between sets, especially those with shade.
At the Depop Oasis , the resale platform created its own whimsical corner of the festival grounds, complete with red-and-white gingham picnic blankets, oversized flower pillows and grassy mounds dotted with flowers dubbed the “Depop Daisy Fields.” Fans could customize vintage and secondhand camis, trucker hats, T-shirts and bandanas, get hair gems or step inside a “flower shower,” where fabric blooms swirled around them.
For Alexis Simmons, U.S. lead for integrated marketing at Depop, the partnership felt like a natural extension of the brand’s relationship with Olivia Rodrigo and the larger mission behind Daisy Chain Fields.
“When we heard about the Daisy Chain Fields festival, we heard that it was a space where joy, creativity and community could kind of come together in one,” Simmons said.
“At the center of Depop is community and creativity.” That idea of giving something old a new life is part of what Simmons said makes the platform’s community special. “You always kind of get extra creative when you’re like, ‘Hey, I actually have this thing in my house that I used to love.
I no longer wear it anymore, but somebody else could love it,” she said. The activation was designed with that participation in mind.
Beyond customizing secondhand pieces, attendees could lounge in the Depop Daisy Fields or grab popsicles meant to be split and shared with another person. … Whether that was a friend they arrived with or someone they had just met in line.
“Overall, I think realistically, once we also heard that Olivia’s mission for this festival was to give back to a lot of female-owned, founded and also charities, we were like, ‘What better way to get involved?’” Simmons said.
“Everything here is being donated.” That hands-on spirit continued at the Etsy Creative Village, where festivalgoers could shop pieces from Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields collection and take part in activities including customizing items with patches, buttons and embroidery, temporary tattoos and creating junk-journal pages.
The collection itself was made in collaboration with 10 women-owned Etsy shops from around the country. The interest was hard to miss.
Long lines formed at several of the activations throughout the afternoon as fans waited for a chance to participate, even as temperatures climbed and shade became increasingly scarce. The heat also added another challenge as the afternoon wore on.
Food vendors drew lengthy lines, with some waits stretching well beyond an hour. Still, the crowds continued to move between performances and the festival’s many creative spaces.
“I feel like we should do this every year,” Mitski told the crowd before her set at the Dandelion Stage late Saturday afternoon. “No pressure on Olivia,” she continued to laughter from the field.
“She’s got her own career going, and this is a full-time job. “But I think she should, because then we could say we were at the first one.
OG DCF. How often do we get the chance to be the first of anything?” That sense of something extraordinary happening was echoed in sets throughout the festival on Saturday, with different artists expressing it in different ways.
For the punk band Bikini Kill, which launched the riot grrrl movement three decades ago, it was joy that some of what they advocated for had been achieved.
“It’s so cool to look and not have to say, ‘Girls to the front’” Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna said of the band’s old fight to give girls a safe space to rock out at their shows. “Because you’re already [bleepin’] there!”
