The May/June 2026 issue of NME Magazine, with Mandy, Indiana on the cover, is out now – alongside a copy of Guitar.com Magazine featuring Grace Bowers.
Having first launched in 1952, NME’s last printed edition of the weekly incarnation of the magazine ceased in 2018. In July 2023, NME announced our return to print with 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.
Fresh from the NME Stage at The Great Escape, industrial-dance noiseniks Mandy, Indiana are on the cover of the 17th issue of NME Magazine, which is now available exclusively via retailer Dawsons. It comes bundled with a copy of Guitar.com Magazine, which features Grace Bowers on the cover. NME and Guitar.com are sister publications under NME Networks.
Each issue of NME Magazine 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. Profiled for The Cover by Spencer Hughes and shot by photographer Tom Oxley, Mandy, Indiana spoke to NME about what “galvanises” them in a bleak political climate, the inequality of the music industry, their acclaimed second album ‘Urgh!’ and much more.
Artists who have graced the cover of the print magazine previously include ENHYPEN, Laufey, The Last Dinner Party, Chappell Roan, Kneecap, LE SSERAFIM, Nemahsis, Oklou, Kwn, Waylon Wyatt, BOYNEXTDOOR, Rose Gray and Mon Rovîa.
