As imaginary keenan reported last week, there’s a new Magnetic Fields album headed our way on January 26, 2010 {thanks to Nonesuch Records}. And as we speculated {and crossed all our fingers for}, the band will hit the road in support of Realism in February and March!

Get your credit card ready… tickets are on sale RIGHT NOW!

Full deets from the email sent to superfans {which I’m sure includes you and all of the cool people we love}:

General tickets will be on sale starting this Friday, November 20. Check the calendar on the band’s website for full details regarding on-sale dates, venues, and ticket pricing.

A limited number of pre-sale tickets will also be available starting Tuesday, November 17 through MusicToday.

Be advised that MusicToday only sells a small number of pre-sale tickets for each show, made available to subscribers of this list, our website, and by word of mouth. Feel free to pass this info to your friends! When MusicToday’s allotment runs out, you will still be able to purchase tickets through the ticket resellers listed on the tour calendar page, starting on or around November 20.

After their US and Canada dates, the band will be heading to Europe for a string of dates in mid- to late-March. Currently there is one show, at London’s Barbican Centre, available for pre-sales this week through ArtistTicket:

Stay tuned for news regarding further itineraries and on-sale dates for the European tour, coming soon.
