The Australian version of the famous American magazine widely considered to be the bible of music, entertainment, fashion and popular culture. From Bob Dylan to Britney Spears, every major music and film star since the mid-1960s has graced its covers.
Although Rolling Stone has a primary focus on pop music, including short and feature articles, stunning photography of the day’s stars, and the latest chart listings and reviews, it is also known for cutting edge journalism and current affairs, making famous contemporary writers such as Hunter S Thompson and PJ O’Rourke.
