CIRCUS was a monthly American magazine devoted to rock music. It was published from 1966 to 2006. Its original title was HULLABALOO till 1969. In its heyday the magazine had a full-time editorial staff that included some of the biggest names in rock journalism, including Paul Nelson, David Fricke, and Kurt Loder; it rivaled ROLLING STONE in sales and surpassed CREEM.
In 1974, a sister publication was launched, titled CIRCUS RAVES, but by 1977 that venture had been abandoned.
