History and work
It is owned by The Fader Media group, which also includes its website, thefader.com, as well as Fader films, Fader Label and Fader TV. It was the first print publication to be released on iTunes.
The Fader Fort
The magazine hosted The Fader Fort, an annual invitation-only event at Austin, Texas's South by Southwest (SXSW). Since its founding in 2001, the four-day party features live performances. Fader Fort NYC is a party produced during the annual CMJ Music Marathon.
The festival has featured over 900 performances, including ones by Drake. In 2020, it moved to being an online event due to the coronavirus pandemic.
