NME is the biggest-selling weekly music magazine in Britain. Featuring agenda-setting news, the UK's most comprehensive gig guide, definitive reviews of the week's hottest gigs, tracks and albums and exclusive interviews with the most important bands around, it's the Bible of every young music fan.
The Libertines, The Smiths, Sex Pistols and Arctic Monkeys were all introduced to the world via the pages of NME, while in recent months we've gone on the road with The White Stripes, gatecrashed the stage at Live8 and narrowly escaped being thrown out of a moving car by Pete Doherty.
NME comes out every Wednesday, is priced a mere �1.95 and is available in all good newsagents.
