One of the UK’s best new bands, English Teacher excel in infusing everyday mundanity - the washing up, for example, or a particularly large paving slab - with magic. Now, they’re at the start of a whole new era.

As the buzziest bands and industry whispers sweep Brighton for The Great Escape, the Dork's Night Out takeover rolls into town, heading to Horatio's at the end of the pier.

The festival will also be hosting sets from Self Esteem, The Vaccines, Beabadoobee, Squid, Crawlers, Courting and more.

There's also FEET, Caity Baser, Stone and more.

It's “a pop song about doing chores instead of doing someone else”.

The event will take place later this month.

They'll be joined on the bill by fellow new announcements Spirit Of The Beehive, Skullcrusher, Karima Walker, Uwade, Highschool, The Umlauts, Vogues and Lichen.
