Rolling Stone Australia is the Australian edition of the United States' Rolling Stone magazine devoted to music, politics, and popular culture, published monthly. The Australian version of Rolling Stone was initially published in 1970 as a supplement in Revolution magazine published by Monash University student Phillip Frazer.[1] It was launched as a fully fledged magazine in 1972 by Frazer[2][3] and was the longest-surviving international edition of Rolling Stone until its last issue appeared in January 2018.[4][5]
As of February 2019, Rolling Stone Australia returned with a digital platform published by The Brag Media, in an exclusive licensing deal with Rolling Stone owner Penske Media Corporation.
In June 2020, the magazine was acquired from the Bauer Media Group by Sydney–based investment firm Mercury Capital.[6][7]
