NME Magazine’s July/August 2026 issue is now on sale, with Korean pop artist Yves on the cover, according to NME. The magazine is being sold exclusively through Dawsons and comes bundled with a copy of MusicTech Magazine, which features DJ_Dave on the cover.
The issue continues NME’s bi-monthly print run, which returned in 2023 after the weekly magazine’s last printed edition ended in 2018. NME says the current print version focuses on new artists and bands, along with exclusive features, industry insight and reviews across music, TV, film and gaming.
Yves is featured as part of The Cover, NME’s editorial section that spotlights emerging talent. In the profile, written by Rhian Daly and photographed in Seoul by Wonyoung Ki, she talks about building her own creative direction after seven years with LOONA and wanting to “break the mould.”
The issue also includes interviews with Paul McCartney, RaiNao and Any Young Mechanic, plus coverage from The Great Escape, where NME hosted an opening party with Angine de Poitrine and its own NME Stage. Readers will also find the return of the 15x15 NME crossword.
