The March/April 2026 issue of NME Magazine, with Mon Rovîa on the cover, is out now – alongside a copy of MusicTech Magazine featuring KÁRYYN.
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.
We’re thrilled to announce that folk singer-songwriter Mon Rovîa is on the cover of the 16th issue of NME Magazine, which is now available exclusively via retailer Dawsons. It comes bundled with a copy of MusicTech Magazine, which features KÁRYYN on the cover. NME and MusicTech 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 Erica Ford and shot by photographer Marisa Bazan, Mon Rovîa spoke to NME about the “responsibility” of being a musician, growing up in the US after being rescued by missionaries from his native Liberia, developing his ‘Afro Appalachia’ sound, and much more.
Artists who have graced the cover of the print magazine include ENHYPEN, Laufey, The Last Dinner Party, Chappell Roan, Kneecap, LE SSERAFIM, Nemahsis, Oklou, Kwn, Waylon Wyatt, BOYNEXTDOOR, Rose Gray and now Mon Rovîa.
