The Fly to relaunch at Great Escape
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 2 April 2013
Free monthly music mag The Fly will relaunch during The Great Escape in May, with a new look and new regular features on fashion, film and technology. The revamp will also see the title printed on a thicker paper stock that will be perfect bound rather than stapled as in the past.
Commenting on the planned revamp, which will coincide with The Fly’s 160th edition, the magazine’s editor JJ Dunning told CMU: “We’re excited to unveil our first new look issue. Thanks to our staff photographer Tom Oldham – who has shot global icons like Lady Gaga and Usain Bolt – and unflappable designer Russ Moorcroft – whose day job is on the ever-ace Mojo – The Fly has long carried some of the best portraiture and design you’ll find in any music magazine. Meanwhile our team of writers is of an equally high calibre, they also contributing to NME, Q, The Guardian, Dazed, Beat, and The Quietus; and now we’ve got the paper quality to reflect the standard of our content”.
To promote the new look, the May edition of The Fly will be available to pick up at wristband exchange at TGE, as well as at the venue hosting the magazine’s stage at this year’s event.
