Taking place August 29 in Irvine, CA, the event will feature Rodrigo alongside Chappell Roan, Doechii, KATSEYE, Mitski, Bikini Kill, The Breeders, Garbage, Santigold, and special guests including Stevie Nicks, Karen O, and Sarah McLachlan.

It’s giving Lilith Fair for the TikTok-raised generation — while also carrying enough legacy acts to make Gen Z start singing “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac on the drive home. But let’s not forget, Daisy Chain Fields is far from the only place to catch the top women artists live in 2026. Across pop, country, indie, R&B, and alternative music, some of the year’s best tours are being led by women who know exactly how to own a stage.

Here are ten women artists touring in 2026, and why you should get tickets before the best seats disappear.

Olivia Rodrigo — Daisy Chain Fields and The Unraveled Tour

Olivia Rodrigo isn’t only launching a festival in 2026, she’s empowering women artists and fans everywhere. Along with headlining Daisy Chain Fields, Rodrigo is also heading out on “The Unraveled Tour,” a massive 2026–2027 run tied to her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

The album has been gaining major traction over the past few months, with “Drop Dead” reaching No. 1 in multiple countries and songs like “The Cure” and “Stupid Song” keeping fans deep in their feelings. It’s very Olivia Rodrigo, and we’re all about it. 

Rodrigo’s 2026 tour should be one of the year’s hottest pop tickets because she has the rare catalog that works for every generation. Let’s not forget that she regularly performs with her idols including Stevie Nicks and Gwen Stefani, and now she’s paying it forward to other women artists.

Add in her Fund 4 Good advocacy, Daisy Chain Fields’ support for Planned Parenthood, and her vulnerable lyrics that every girl can listen to and feel in their soul, and this tour is anything but just another album cycle. Get your verified resale Olivia Rodrigo tickets now.

Gracie Abrams — The Look at My Life Tour

Gracie Abrams has officially stepped up from “sad girl with a guitar” status to full arena headliner, and “The Look at My Life Tour” feels like the next major step. The run supports her third album, Daughter from Hell, which is already being framed as one of her most personal projects yet. Considering we’re talking about Gracie Abrams here? That’s saying something.

Songs like “I miss you, I’m sorry,” “Where do we go now?,” “Risk,” “Close to You,” “That’s So True,” and “Us” with Taylor Swift helped turn her into one of the defining voices of pop…with a few tears and “oh, that’s so me” statements along the way. Every track is like a diary entry that unapologetically becomes a chart-topping hit, and you can hear them all on the 2026 Gracie Abrams tour.

Have you heard new singles from her Daughter From Hell era, including “Hit the Wall” and “Look at My Life?” They’re begging to be live-debuted in a city near you.

Charli xcx — Music, Fashion, Film Tour

Charli xcx doesn’t really do casual album cycles, she performs cultural takeovers that touch everything in pop culture. And occasionally, politics. Who can forget her “Kamala IS brat” tweet from the 2024 election cycle? That’s how we know that her “Music, Fashion, Film” tour and album will be a phenomenon, even after the wild success of Brat.

Remember Brat summer when everything was neon green and you were dancing to “360” on repeat? Imagine that much impact, only amplified. The title of Music, Fashion, Film alone tells you what to expect. Charli has always understood that pop music is bigger than the song itself — it’s the visuals, the clothes, the club, the meme, the attitude, and the moment where everyone in the room decides they are suddenly the main character.

That’s what makes Charli xcx tickets such a smart grab in 2026. Her shows are built for fans who want something hyper-stylized and just unhinged enough to make every seat in the audience feel like a dance party…and the British pop star is sure to deliver.

Hayley Williams — The Hayley Williams Show Tour 

Hayley Williams is bringing “The Hayley Williams Show” on the road in 2026, and yes, the title is doing exactly what it needs to do. 

Unlike her earlier “Hayley Williams at a Bachelorette Party” run, which sold out almost immediately, this tour gives fans a bigger look at Williams’ full solo catalog. That means songs from Petals for Armor, FLOWERS for VASES / descansos, and Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party can all share the same stage, showing off the restless, intimate, experimental side of Hayley that exists outside of Paramore. And honestly, she’s earned the spotlight.

For fans who grew up with “Misery Business,” “Decode,” “Ain’t It Fun,” and “Still Into You,” this is a chance to see one of alternative music’s most beloved voices in a different setting. Less Paramore nostalgia, more Hayley on her own terms — weird, vulnerable, powerful, and still fully capable of making a room lose its mind. With her first solo run selling out so quickly, verified resale tickets for “The Hayley Williams Show” are available now.

The Chicks — Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour

The Chicks are celebrating 20 years of Taking the Long Way, and honestly, “Not Ready to Make Nice” is more relevant than ever in 2026. The anniversary tour begins September 30 in Detroit, giving fans a more intimate way to revisit one of the boldest country-pop albums of the 2000s.

This album was released after The Chicks faced major backlash for criticizing then-President George W. Bush before the Iraq War, and instead of shrinking from the controversy, they turned it into one of the most unapologetic country-pop records ever. Taking the Long Way carried anger, exhaustion, defiance, and survival — all the feelings that come with being told to stay quiet and refusing anyway.

And a full two decades later, they’re still not ready to back down. The Chicks may not be on the Daisy Chain Fields lineup, but their fearless attitude fits right into Olivia Rodrigo’s empowering universe for women.

Kehlani — The Kehlani World Tour

Kehlani is taking their self-titled era around the world, and it already feels like the kind of tour where fans will know every word before the first chorus ends. A self-titled album usually means an artist is making a statement, and Kehlani sounds like someone pulling every chapter of their career into one place instead of trying to start over.

Kehlani has spent years writing songs that make terrible decisions sound almost reasonable because the vocals are too pretty to argue with. From “Distraction” and “Nights Like This” to “Can I,” “Honey,” and now “Folded,” their catalog is full of soft confessions, late-night spirals, and hooks that feel even better when a whole room is singing them back.

“Folded” may be the obvious new-era highlight after becoming one of Kehlani’s biggest Hot 100 moments, but the deeper cuts could be what make the show special. Kehlani has always known how to turn messy feelings into smooth R&B, and this tour should give fans plenty to scream, sway, and heal to.

KATSEYE — The Wildworld Tour

You can’t have Daisy Fields without KATSEYE, as the girl group may just be the breakout act of 2026. They made their Coachella debut, saw their EP Beautiful Chaos debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and graduated to major arenas after only two years together. This makes the “Wildworld Tour” feel less like a first big run and more like the next step in a very fast global takeover.

Apparently, the path from survival-show trainees to festival-stage regulars can move very quickly when the songs hit. And with their next EP, Wild, due out August 14, the tour should bring new material alongside fan favorites like “Gnarly,” “Gabriela,” and “Gameboy.” These six bring it all — fashion, charisma, choreography, and pop bangers that know exactly what they’re doing.

KATSEYE tickets are a smart grab for fans who want to catch a group right as the rooms start getting bigger. At this pace, the next time they tour, those rooms may be even harder to get into.

Phoebe Bridgers — The Lost Tour

Phoebe Bridgers is finally returning to solo touring with “The Lost Tour,” and fans have been waiting for years. The run supports her upcoming album Lost Weekend, her first solo full-length since Punisher, and will feature a full band, phone-free shows, and Alex G on the North American dates.

That phone-free detail matters. Phoebe’s songs work best when people are actually present for them — not trying to capture her emotional lyrics for a TikTok later captioned “me af.” Yes, her tracks are incredibly relatable, but living in the moment is the entire point, and the indie darling is making sure you soak up every moment of her live performance.

For anyone who has been holding onto Punisher since 2020, Phoebe Bridgers tickets should be high on the list. This is one of those tours where the room itself becomes part of the experience, and you should get verified resale tickets as soon as possible.

Kacey Musgraves — Middle of Nowhere Tour

Kacey Musgraves isn’t just heading back on the road in 2026 — she’s returning to her country roots in style. The “Middle of Nowhere tour” is named for her latest record of the same name, which sees her taking a break from country-pop and playing with elements of Western swing, bluegrass and regional Mexican styles she learned to love growing up in Texas. 

This tour gives fans a chance to hear new songs like “Dry Spell” and “Loneliest Girl” alongside the tracks that made Kacey one of the strongest songwriters of her generation. She doesn’t need giant spectacle to make a show feel special. A steel guitar, a perfect lyric, and one devastating pause can do plenty of damage on their own.

For anyone who fell for Same Trailer Different Park, Golden Hour, or Kacey’s dry humor wrapped in heartbreak, the 2026 tour should feel like a welcome return to her roots — with just enough sparkle to remind you she’s still Kacey Musgraves.

beabadoobee — The Powerlines Tour

beabadoobee’s “The Powerlines Tour” is one of the most interesting alternative runs of 2026 because it arrives with a new album that was inspired by the emotional weirdness of touring. Pylon, out September 18, takes its name from the electricity towers that reminded Beatrice Laus of home while she was dealing with distance and isolation while performing — proving that difficult roads can literally lead to beautiful destinations. 

With Hayley Williams, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, and Chino Moreno appearing on Pylon, beabadoobee’s indie pop-rock world is getting even louder, heavier, and more ambitious. But the appeal is still the same: intimate feelings, fuzzy guitars, and lyrics that sound like they came straight from a diary you probably weren’t supposed to read.
