The Magnetic Fields have added two more dates to their '69 Love Songs' anniversary tour at the Curran Theater in San Francisco. (Merge Records)

When the Magnetic Fields announced a live performance of their landmark album 69 Love Songs at the Curran Theater next year in San Francisco, we knew it would sell out quickly. Seeing Stephen Merritt’s masterwork song suite, performed in full over two nights, for the first time in the Bay Area in over 20 years? And at a gorgeous historic theater, no less?

If you missed out on tickets to it, you’re not alone. Lucky for you: the band has added additional dates on April 28 and 29, 2024, and tickets go on sale Friday, July 28, at 10 a.m. Be quick with the click at Broadway SF’s site right here, and note that you have the option of buying two-night passes or single night tickets. (Ticket prices start at $55.50.)

If you can believe it, 69 Love Songs was released 25 years ago. This anniversary tour is traveling to only four other U.S. cities, and will feature all the players from the 1999 box set, along with supplemental musicians. Want to take bets on how loud the applause will be for “Come Back From San Francisco”… performed in San Francisco?
