Lyrics
Want to know which acts you can watch at what time at Coachella weekend 2? Find them all, plus the UK times, here.
Including CMAT, Ethel Cain, Blondshell and loads more.
Fifteen years into his career, Alex G remains one of indie’s most enigmatic figures. With ‘Headlights’, his tenth album and first on a major label, he emerges with a brighter, bolder sound without sacrificing the quiet weirdness that made him a cult hero.
Four covers, one jam‑packed mag – Dork’s new issue is here, and it’s bursting at the seams.
Alex G reveals July release date for tenth album 'Headlights' and drops new single 'Afterlife' with accompanying music video.
Knocked Loose will headline Manchester's two-day Outbreak Festival in June 2025, sharing top billing with Alex G and Slowdive.
He will set off on a massive UK/ER tour, as well as festival spots and a US tour with Alvvays.
Check out his live airings of ‘Runner’, ‘Miracles’ and ‘Early Morning Waiting’.
Set for release on 23rd September, the news comes alongside a brand new single, 'Runner'.
