Last night was the official launch of Rolling Stone Middle East, the party was held at the Gramercy (a New York style bar and restaurant) in the Dubai International Financial Centre. In true Rolling Stone style, guests were rock steady, dressed in leather, skulls and studs. Budweiser proved to be king of beers and Jack Daniels were a guest favorite of the night, with mini burgers and hot dogs being passed around - this was a strictly rock'n'roll diet.
The event organized by Chic Alors and hosted by Image Nation, by far our fav event of the year. We live, breathe and sleep rock'n'roll and Image Nation delivered one hell of a night.
We got our hands on some goodies including the first edition of Rolling Stone Middle East, we were super excited to see our homeboy Mr. Kanye West on the cover. With his F1 performance right around the corner we couldn't have thought of a better coverstar. We spent today reading the magazine cover to cover and we have to say, we're impressed. From the West Coast to the West Bank, the magazine covered it all.
Amazing night and a fantastic magazine.

I'm beyond excited to announce the launch of Rolling Stones Middle East edition. Rolling Stone magazine is synonymous with music and entertainment, no other magazine comes close to producing iconic covers and stories.
Rolling Stone Middle East will be distributed regionally with 50-60% of the content being local. The UAE is becoming a hotspot for rockstar concerts, this year alone the UAE has and will see such acts as Kanye West, Prince, David Guetta and Mark Ronson. Mohammed Abdullah, Managing Director, Media Cluster–TECOM Investments welcomed the new magazine and said that "with approximately 55 per cent of the Arab regional population under the age of 25, there are clearly immense opportunities for media companies to tap into this segment.”
Waref Hawasli, Managing Partner of HGW Media, said: “We are excited to be introducing Rolling Stone Middle East to the market. We feel this prestigious title can speak to multiple audiences through a shared appreciation for music, culture and current affairs.”
We think that Rolling Stones Middle East will be a great addition to music in the region and hopefully show us local creative up and coming talent.
Well done HGW Media, fantastic move!
Rock on.
