Blitzed magazine is a bi-monthly lifestyle and music magazine that magnifies and examines all things from the 1980s. The concept of Blitzed Magazine started as a music publication inspired by the Blitz club in London. The music they played there, bands who met there and artists who continue to be inspired by the club. As well as the people who went (or wished they had!)

As things have progressed we’ve realised that the ‘cult with no name’ means so much more. It inspired fashion and lifestyle, helped to promote a more inclusive society sexually and produced some of the icons of the last 40 years. Be enlightened, again, or for the first time.

Blitzed returns with a packed Issue 26, diving headfirst into the worlds of synth, new wave and electronic music with an unrivalled line-up of interviews and features. From Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh reflecting on the band’s legacy and 2026 tour, to Midge Ure, Thomas Dolby, Gary Numan, Bruce Woolley and Peter Cox, this issue brings together true pioneers and innovators of the scene.

There’s a major two-part interview with Paul King, plus in-depth conversations with Doublespeak(Neil Arthur, Vince Clarke and Benge), Morgan King, Thomas Leer, Richard James Burgess and more. Hollywood icon Kiefer Sutherland also joins the party, discussing cult classic The Lost Boys alongside his latest music.

Elsewhere, explore features on Peter Gabriel’s So, Pet Shop Boys’ Actually and Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U, alongside deep dives into electronic classics, lost treasures, and the ever-evolving modern scene. Add in a huge selection of album reviews (including Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire and Midge Ure), live reports, exhibitions, and the latest tech insights—and you’ve got an essential issue for anyone plugged into alternative music culture.

As ever, Blitzed delivers sharp insight, nostalgia, and forward-thinking music journalism in one seriously stacked edition.
