About RockStar Weekly

Canada's source for rock music news, reviews, radio, and the print magazine since 2009.

What RockStar Weekly Covers

RockStar Weekly is a Canadian rock music publication covering the national rock scene from coast to coast. The editorial focus spans new album releases, live concert reviews, artist interviews, radio programming, and long-form features on the artists, bands, and cultural moments that define Canadian rock music.

Coverage includes the full range of Canadian rock output - from legacy acts who established the genre's identity in the 1970s and 1980s through to current artists carrying that tradition forward. International rock acts that tour Canada and connect with Canadian audiences are also covered where relevant.

RockStar Weekly Radio

Alongside the editorial publication, RockStar Weekly Radio streams Canadian rock programming seven days a week. The station's schedule includes daily music blocks, a weekly new-releases countdown every Friday, Saturday night marathon programming, and Sunday deep-cut sessions focused on the catalog of major Canadian rock acts.

Past show recordings are archived and available to replay. The radio programming complements the editorial coverage by giving readers a way to hear the music being discussed in the magazine and on the website.

RockStar Magazine

RockStar Magazine is the print publication that anchors the brand. Published quarterly, the magazine features exclusive interviews, concert photography, album reviews, and tour diary contributions from artists on the road. Free trial issues are available on request.
