The March 2026 issue of
Dork is now available to order now, including the previously mentioned special
Louis Tomlinson edition, which sees him become the magazine’s first-ever guest editor. (We have to call him 'boss' and get the coffee until next month rolls around - deposed Ed.)
It feels safe to say there has never, ever been a magazine so chaotic that it brings together
Louis Tomlinson,
Mumford & Sons and
Kim Gordon on one set of covers. This issue pulls together stories that reflect how music moves when you stop worrying about whether it makes sense on paper and start trusting rampant curiosity instead.
Louis’s guest-edited section is built around his new album ‘
How Did I Get Here?’ and the wider world of artists, records and ideas that shape how he listens. Alongside a major new interview, it includes recommendations, commentary, a practical guide to finding new music when your life is already loud, and a run of artist spotlights connected to his Away From Home universe.
Beyond the guest edit,
Mumford & Sons appear on the cover at a moment of renewed focus, talking through their collaborative new era and the thinking behind ‘
Prizefighter’. Absolute icon
Kim Gordon also returns with a wide-ranging cover feature exploring ‘Play Me’, her relationship with technology, politics and AI, and why she continues to push against the idea of comfort or consensus in music.
Elsewhere in the issue,
Lime Garden talk through album two, ‘Maybe Not Tonight’, and the routines, spirals and breakthroughs that shaped it.
Hemlocke Springs digs into the contradictions behind her debut album ‘the apple tree under the sea’.
Master Peace breaks down the momentum behind ‘Fuck It Up’ and the story of the ‘Stupid Kids’ EP, while
Shelf Lives take on hypernormalisation and building a debut album without letting algorithms set the pace. There’s also
Book of Churches with Divorce’s Felix Mackenzie-Barrow, and a day in the life with
Ellur.
The issue also looks outward, with a practical festival-season package mapping what’s coming up across the calendar, and deeper features with
Cardinals on debut album ‘Masquerade’,
Mandy, Indiana on the intensity of ‘URGH’, and
DEADLETTER pushing their sound further on ‘Existence Is Bliss’. And loads more too. Loads and loads. Same as ever.
