How can we resist three days of music, art and food in a 17th century palace in Shekhawati? Magnetic Fields promises to bring the newest Indian sounds, underground music from the world over, with 30 DJs, two stages and ‘secret parties’ for a festival that promises to be like none other. Huddle around fire pits, camp like Bedouin nomads or live like a royal in Alsisar Palace, take workshops with craftspeople through the day, and enjoy fusion cuisine and costume balls.
