My magazine will be aimed at middle-class people as they would be able to afford to go to concerts and festivals. Unplugged is not gender specific and will have music that both male and female teenagers will listen to and enjoy, also they will probably be either in a band or play instruments or love to listen to music and will be regular concert and festival goers this is why I will include information about upcoming festivals and concerts and reviews.
