The Magnetic Fields, who began their 50 Song Memoir tour of the United States in Philadelphia last night, have announced that they will be bringing the show to the UK and Ireland this summer. The tour, which begins with two nights at the Edinburgh International Festival on August 25 and 26, will make stops at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Colston Hall in Bristol, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, and the Brighton Dome, culminating at Barbican Hall in London on September 9 and 10. Along with their June appearance at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, these are the only European tour dates that the band has planned this year. Tickets go on sale starting this Friday, March 17. See below for all of the newly announced shows; for all the latest, including the US dates, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
In addition to his vocals on all 50 songs, Merritt plays more than 100 instruments on 50 Song Memoir, ranging from ukulele to piano to drum machine to abacus. In concert, the music is played and sung by a newly expanded Magnetic Fields septet in a stage set featuring 50 years of artifacts both musical (vintage computers, reel-to-reel tape decks, newly invented instruments), and decorative (tiki bar, shag carpet, vintage magazines for the perusal of idle musicians). The seven performers each play seven different instruments, either traditional (cello, charango, clavichord) or invented in the last 50 years (Slinky guitar, Swarmatron, synthesizer). The stage extravaganza is directed by the award-winning José Zayas.
Several videos originally created for the 50 Song Memoir tour have been released as full-length music videos for songs on the album: "'68 A Cat Called Dionysus," "'71 I Think I'll Make Another World," "'81 How to Play the Synthesizer," "'83 Foxx and I," and "'85 Why I Am Not a Teenager." You can watch them below, via the band's YouTube channel, along with additional lyric videos for the album.
To pick up a copy of 50 Song Memoir, head to iTunes, Amazon, or the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete fifty-song set at checkout.

The twenty-seven disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works, out next Friday, March 14, on Nonesuch, includes a chronology of the composer's life and work—his forty years on the label and six decades of compositions heard in the collection, from It’s Gonna Rain (1965) to his two latest works, Traveler’s Prayer (2020) and Jacob’s Ladder (2023). A new video brings that chronology to life; you can watch it here.
Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway are featured in the latest installment of American Currents: State of the Music, the annual exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville showcasing country music and its place in American culture over the past year, open through January 2026. "I’m so honored to be included," Tuttle says. "I can’t thank the Country Music Hall of Fame enough for all the support they’ve shown me through the years. It’s extra special for me to share this display with Shelby, Kyle, Dom, and Bronwyn after countless miles and performances together."
