“Year five of Magnetic Fields feels pretty momentous for our team. We’ve grown from a small gathering of 400 into an impressive and beautiful community. This year will see us build on the new streams of content we introduced last year, of course with a fair share of surprises and the line-up is pretty spectacular. We’re so excited to welcome everyone back,” said co-founder Wild City and one of the partners of the festival Sarah Chawla.
