In celebration of the 25th anniversary of its release, the Magnetic Fields are continuing their two-night performance of the entire 69 Love Songs album in its entirety, during a Spring 2025 USA and Canada tour run. The full concert runs over the course of 2 nights.

Originally released in 1999 on Merge Records, 69 Love Songs is a beloved 3-disc masterwork that marked a significant breakthrough for the American band. This tour brings the full record live on tour 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 2000s: 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, ukulele, guitars, and keyboards.
