Brighten up your 2025 with Dork's Here Comes Your Jan, featuring Swim School, Imogen and the Knife and more

After the December blur of questionable jumpers and endless Quality Street, January typically arrives with all the excitement of a damp sock. Not this time. We're brightening up the bleakest month with Here Comes Your Jan - a double serving of live brilliance at The 100 Club on 22nd and 23rd January.

These shows mark the first dates in our Dork 100 series – a celebration leading up to our 100th issue this summer (we know, we're getting old). It's just the beginning of what we've got planned for 2025, with plenty more special shows, surprises and general mischief in the works.

First up, Wednesday 22nd January sees Imogen and the Knife bringing their remarkable live show to the legendary Oxford Street basement. Fresh from releasing 'Some Kind Of Love, Extended Suite', Imogen stands at that thrilling moment just before everything explodes – and trust us, it will. They're joined by London's own Hank, whose grunge-drenched offerings have been turning heads across the capital. More acts are set to join the bill, making that £9 ticket price feel like daylight robbery (in the best possible way).

The following night (23rd January), Swim School take command of the stage. After spending 2024 becoming absolutely essential viewing – including a stint supporting Pale Waves and numerous packed-to-the-rafters festival appearances – they're ready to kick 2024 into gear. Support comes from the mesmerising She's In Parties and Cosmorat, creating a line-up that's worth every penny of the £11 admission.

Tickets for both shows are available now via Dice and WeGotTickets. Consider this your January survival kit sorted.
