Popular annual music and arts festival Magnetic Feilds has called curtains! The exhuberant fest known to attract many electronic music artistes and enthusiasts bid good bye to its home — Alsisar Mahal, Rajhasthan.
In an official statement on their Instagram page, the reason behind this move was not specified. However, the close association of the core team behind this festival and the popular venue was dicussed at length.
The brains behind this festival that celebrated the Rajasthani culture, location and blends of various genres of music will now adopt a new persona as Magnetic Fields Nomads in Khetri. The town known for a mix of various lifestyles and rich in culutre and heritage will now bring about the convergence of artistes and art enthusiasts alike.
Opening it up about this move, festival co-founder Sarah Elizabeth Chawla said, “There are a lot of options out there – which of course, is great for everyone – but we want to stick to what we do best and what we always did differently We have never been about the biggest stages, names or largest crowds. We want to be more intentional and reconnect with our purpose as a festival, using culture as an opportunity to centre and ground ourselves, not as a space for distraction and dissociation. Our goal is to challenge perceptions of what a festival can be, encouraging presence and sticking to our signature curation that weaves heritage and futurism into a bold new future." While the line up is yet to be announced, ardent fans can expect to see a whole new side of this unique extravaganza soon!
