Yungblud! Alex G! Royel Otis! Sprints! It’s the August 2025 issue of Dork – order now

Four covers, one jam‑packed mag – Dork’s new issue is here, and it’s bursting at the seams.

Our latest edition is available to order right now, fronted by a quartet of genre‑spanning stars. First up: boundary‑dodging trailblazer Yungblud, kicking off his boldest era yet. Joining him is cult hero Alex G, still delightfully off‑kilter ten albums in; Australian day‑glo dreamers Royel Otis, ready to soundtrack every late‑summer crush; and Dublin firebrands Sprints, proving righteous noise and razor‑sharp politics belong on the same stage.

Inside, the chaos only intensifies. Panic Shack swap yoga mats for vodka shots, Mae Muller rips up the pop rulebook, plus Alessi Rose, Luvcat, Big Special, Indigo De Souza and Hot Milk and loads more all add flavour to the biggest party in print. Our new‑music hub Hype introduces tomorrow’s favourites – Folk Bitch Trio, Boko Yout, KuleeAngee and Thistle – already queuing for headline status.

Need verdicts? Our review section tackles Lorde’s fearless new album ‘Virgin’, Fletcher’s big‑chorus heartbreak, Keo’s spellbinding ‘Siren’ EP and a stack more releases you need in your life. On the live front, relive our 20 defining Glastonbury moments alongside full reports from Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Fontaines D.C. and a summer’s worth of field‑tested brilliance.

And because you asked (loudly): the limited‑run Dork “Rare and Unseen” Poster Pack from last month is back for an encore – two A2 and three A3 double‑sided prints featuring the likes of Yungblud, Inhaler, Fontaines D.C. James Marriott, Sam Fender, Louis Tomlinson, Bastille, Wet Leg and Beabadoobee. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so move fast.

Four covers, hundreds of bangers, zero room for boring – Dork Issue 101 is on sale now. Grab your favourite cover (or collect the lot), stick the posters on your wall, and dive in. The party hasn’t peaked; it’s just changed address.
