SPIN Magazine, originally launched in 1985, is returning to print with its first newsstand edition since 2012.

The issue, on stands August 29th, will be the first to be edited by founder Bob Guccione, Jr. since he sold SPIN in 1997. Guccione has been consulting with SPIN since mid-2020.

SPIN, which was acquired from Billboard in January of 2020 by Next Management Partners, is published online at www.spin.com. It also operates SPIN Records, SPIN Films, SPIN Podcasts and SPIN Labs, an incubator dedicated to connecting music fans through support of early-stage music technology. SPIN also produces concerts and events at festivals such as Coachella, SXSW and Art Basel, as well as artist showcases, such as a recent special performance in Austin by alternative rockers Sunny Day Real Estate as part of the band’s 30th anniversary tour.

The relaunch issue will distribute 50,000 copies and be available at retailers including Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, Kroger’s, Walmart, and Smiths in Canada, as well as at independent record stores and major airports.
