In celebration of the 25th anniversary of its release, the Magnetic Fields are coming to Brighton Dome for a two-night performance of the entire 69 Love Songs album in its entirety.

 

During this symphonic 2-night concert, Stephin Merritt will be joined by members Sam Davol, Shirley Simms, Chris Ewen, and Anthony Kaczynski.

 

Originally release in 1999 on Merge Records, 69 Love Songs is a beloved 3-disc masterwork that marked a significant breakthrough for the American band. The 69 Love Songs anniversary tour sees the Magnetic Fields perform the full record live for the first time in over two decades.

 

Written and recorded entirely by Stephin Merritt, 69 Love Songs garnered universal acclaim at its 1999 release, landing on best of year-end lists in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, SPIN, LA Times and The Washington Post, and received notable praise from Pitchfork, The Guardian, Stereogum and much more.

 

The Magnetic Fields will perform 69 Love Songs as it was originally performed in the early 2000’s: In full order over 2 nights, with one half of the triple-disc album performed each night. Featuring multiple singers, the band delivers signature orchestral-pop arrangements with cello, ukelele, guitars and synths.
