Cigarettes After Sex drummer Jacob Tomsky has faced criticism for comments he’s made about Olivia Rodrigo‘s new all-female festival.
The pop star announced the event, called Daisy Chain Fields, earlier this week, saying: “I’ve had a dream of doing this festival for years and I am so ecstatic it’s finally coming true!!”
Set to take place at Great Park in Irvine, California, on August 29, the one-dayer boasts acts such as Chappell Roan, Bikini Kill, Doechii, Garbage, Stevie Nicks and Karen O. Rodrigo will herself perform at the festival, too.
“Daisy Chain Fields features an all-women lineup and 100 per cent of the net proceeds will go to charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls,” the singer continued.
But the video of Rodrigo’s interview with Good Morning America, in which she launched the event, appeared to confuse musician Tomsky.
In a since-deleted comment on a TikTok clip of Rodrigo’s chat, the drummer wrote: “We won’t be there lol tf.”

A user on the social media platform later asked him to explain the meaning behind his remark. Tomsky responded: “I mean, it feels like some forced promo for a festival, right? I’m just saying our band won’t be performing there.”
Cigarettes After Sex were not mentioned during Rodrigo’s conversation with GMA, nor were they featured anywhere in the announcement materials.
It remains unclear as to why Tomsky has seemingly taken issue with Daisy Chain Fields. However, some Rodrigo fans have perceived his comments to mean that he is unhappy with the all-female aspect of the festival.
