With a secret cover star and a copy of MusicTech Magazine
By NME 25th November 2025
The November/December 2025 issue of NME Magazine is out this week – bundled with MusicTech Magazine. Here’s how you can buy the last print issue of the year.
Having first launched in 1952, NME’s last printed edition of the weekly incarnation of the magazine stopped 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.
AdvertisementArtists who have graced the print cover since include ENHYPEN, Laufey, The Last Dinner Party, Chappell Roan, Kneecap, LE SSERAFIM, Nemahsis, Oklou, Kwn and Waylon Wyatt. All editions have sold out in minutes, which is why you should mark your calendar for the November/December 2025 issue, which will go on sale this Thursday November 27 at 2pm GMT. The magazine will be available exclusively online via retailer Dawsons. The waiting room is open, so check it out now.
This issue of NME Magazine comes bundled with a copy of MusicTech Magazine. NME and MusicTech are sister publications under NME Networks. The cover stars of both magazines are secret for now – on Thursday, all will be revealed.
