In celebration of the 25th anniversary of its release, the Magnetic Fields are heading to Bristol for a symphonic performance of the entire 69 Love Songs album over two nights.
The Magnetic Fields will perform 69 Love Songs as it was originally performed in the early 2000s: in full order, with one half of the triple-disc album performed each night. Featuring performances from band members Stephin Merritt, Sam Davol, Shirley Simms, Chris Ewen, and Anthony Kaczynski and their signature orchestral-pop arrangements with cello, ukulele, guitars, and synths.
Don’t miss this extraordinary two-night event!
