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 – The Stars are Aligned…

Blitzed Magazine returns with another stunning edition celebrating the vibrant world of synth, new wave and post-punk culture — past, present and future.

Our cover star is the iconic Boy George, who opens up in an exclusive, in-depth interview with Marc Massive about his teenage years, London’s creative scene, new music, and life in the spotlight.

We take a deep dive into The Blitz Club Exhibition at London’s Design Museum — a comprehensive look at the art, fashion and spirit that defined a generation.

Inside you’ll also find exclusive conversations with a host of legends and innovators, including:
Heaven 17, Dave Barbarossa (Bow Wow Wow/The Ants), Billy Currie (Ultravox), John Keeble (Spandau Ballet), Peter Hook, Trevor Horn, Steve Lillywhite, Jonny Slut, Hugh Cornwell, Assemblage 23, and The Motels.

There’s more to discover:

Plus, there’s a packed reviews section covering new releases by Boy George, Rusty Egan, Ultravox, Clock DVA, Covenant, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Immersion, and many more — alongside live gig reviews from Erasure, Level 42, Men Without Hats, Tiny Magnetic Pets, Infest 25, and Blitzed in Birmingham.

Rounding things off are competitions, giveaways, and the latest misadventures of Barry Blitz — our very own posh boy hero in pursuit of Blitz Club glory.
