how to buy the July/August 2024 print issue

The July/August 2024 issue of NME Magazine, with Kneecap on the cover, is out now – here’s how to buy your copy.

Having first launched in 1952, NME’s last printed edition of the weekly incarnation of the magazine ceased in 2018. The July/August 2023 issue marked NME’s return to print as a bi-monthly global magazine that showcases the best new artists and bands on earth, alongside exclusive new franchises, unmissable features, industry insight and expert reviews of the latest music, TV, film, and gaming releases.

We’re proud to announce that Belfast’s provocative peacemakers Kneecap are on the cover of the sixth issue of NME Magazine, which is now available exclusively at retailer Dawsons.

Each issue is fronted by an edition of The Cover: NME’s flagship editorial property that champions emerging talent, elevating new artists and bands as part of our commitment to global new music discovery. Kneecap – who’ve become one of the most buzzed about acts of the year, thanks to their debut album ‘Fine Art’ – were profiled for The Cover by Andrew Trendell and shot by photographer Joseph Bishop.
