Front is a British men's magazine. First published by Cabal Communications in 1998, it was created to rival IPC's publication Loaded,[2] catering to a demographic of 16- to 25-year-old males.[3] It began as part of the British "lads' mag" genre of magazines though the covers rejects this description with the statement "Front is no lads' mag".

Whilst a major selling point is the photo-shoots of models, the magazine also focuses heavily on music, films, gadgets and games, plus sections on fashion and sport. Glamour shoots within the magazine usually involve well-known models rather than celebrities.

The magazine has also been responsible for a number of high-profile stunts, most notably smuggling an Eric Cantona lookalike, Karl Power, into the Manchester United team photo during a Champions League game.[4]

On 7 February 2014, Front Magazine announced on its Facebook page that it had ceased operations and the magazine would no longer be published.[2]

On 18 March 2014, Front Magazine announced they would be returning by writing "And FRONT said onto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though FRONT were dead, yet shall FRONT live!"[5]

Front Magazine was relaunched with Editor Ryan Child at the helm in November 2016. The new editions hold true to the tongue in cheek humour of the original issues. The focus in content shifted slightly to issues including homelessness, UK opiate abuse and the refugee crisis, while also still featuring high profile models, movies and style. Music is also still at the forefront of what Front does, with interviews with The Offspring and Big Narstie filed in 2016. Front now also has a major focus on MMA and other action sports, building a hard core fanbase that makes up the 2 million social media followers the magazine has.
