Our 100th issue
Dork 100 celebrations are already the talk of the town — with sold-out nights across London and beyond, it’s safe to say the party’s well underway. But we’re not done yet. Not even close.
Today, we’re adding a fresh wave of beloved favourites, buzzy newcomers, and even more former cover stars to our month-long pop nonsense spectacular. From indie heroes to some of the most exciting names on the rise, we’re throwing everything at it — and then some.
First up, we’ve got some serious reinforcements joining our
100 Club takeover.
Wings of Desire will support
Black Honey on Tuesday 15th July, making it a night that brings together Dork’s past and present in the most chaotic, full-circle fashion.
Westside Cowboy and
Vegas Water Taxi (solo) have been added to the stacked
Divorce show on Wednesday 16th, while
Welly bring their chaotic energy ahead of
Sports Team’s performance of 'Winter Nets' in full on Friday 18th.
Adult DVD joins
Antony Szmierek on Saturday 19th for a sharp, smart finale at the 100 Club, and over at the
Sebright Arms,
Ain’t and
Goodbye are lined up to support
Lime Garden on Tuesday 22nd July. Plus,
Balancing Act will open for
Courting on Friday 11th — a must for anyone with an eye on what’s next, and
piri & tommy's show at
Colours Hoxton on Thursday 10th July is getting even bigger with
Punchbag and
KuleeAngee joining the bill.
And then there’s
Dork’s Day Out — the grand finale of our Dork 100 roadshow, taking place at
Signature Brew Blackhorse Road on
Saturday 2nd August. Alongside previously announced headliners
Porij, we’re revealing a full-blown, no-skips kind of line-up featuring
SOFY,
Picture Parlour (special guests, no less!),
Aziya and
Nxdia. It’s our biggest Dork’s Day Out bill to date, and it’s going to be one hell of a send-off.
You can get tickets here.Most shows are now fully sold out, but there are
very limited tickets remaining for piri & tommy at Colours Hoxton [
grab them here]. If you haven’t locked in your spot yet, consider this your sign — and make sure you’re there to help us close out the summer in style.
Oh, and about those
Very Special Guests on Thursday 17th July… you’re going to want to keep your eyes open. More on that very soon.
So, what exactly is Dork 100? It’s our full-throttle celebration marking 100 issues of Dork — a milestone that felt too big for just one issue, so we turned it into something even more ridiculous. Over the coming weeks and months, we’re throwing a series of shows, stages, and spectacular nonsense featuring the bands who’ve defined us, delighted us, and probably ruined a few of our
lives eardrums along the way.
We've already been busy. Following a series of shows over the first few months of the year, in May we've been bringing Dork 100 to festival stages across the UK — including The Great Escape, Live at Leeds: In The Park, and Dot To Dot Festival, with sets from the likes of Lynks, Coach Party, Arthur Hill, Chloe Slater,
The Pill,
Westside Cowboy and more. Think of it as the warm-up lap for what’s happening across London this summer. And as part of our Dork 100 celebrations, we'll be taking over The Nest at
Truck Festival this July, with
Courting, Luvcat, jasmine.4.t., Brògeal, The Pill and more.
That includes our intimate headline show with
James Marriott at Colours Hoxton on 17th June – a one-night-only celebration of his new album 'Don’t Tell The Dog'. And from there, it’s a rapid run of sold-out nights, unexpected pairings, special guests, chaotic pub quizzes, and one final blowout at Dork’s Day Out.
It’s loud. It’s sweaty. It’s very us. And you’re invited. Get all the info below.
