Porij are headlining Dork’s Day Out 2025 – grab tickets now

Mark your calendars, because on Saturday 2nd August, we’re returning to London’s Signature Brew Blackhorse Road for our annual all-day blowout Dork’s Day Out. Headlining proceedings this year? None other than genre-blurring indie-electro heroes Porij, who’ll be bringing their euphoric, dancefloor-ready chaos to our 100th issue celebrations.

Anyone who’s caught Porij live knows exactly what to expect: a relentlessly fun set packed with bangers, grooves, and boundless good vibes. They’re a perfect choice to wrap up a month that’ll see us throw everything (including the proverbial pop kitchen sink) at our anniversary celebrations. Expect limbs everywhere and grins all round – exactly the energy we’re after to mark our magazine turning the big 100.

Of course, Porij are just the tip of the iceberg. More names are still TBA, and if past Dork’s Day Outs are anything to go by, you can trust that the line-up is going to be stacked with future icons, current faves, and plenty of surprise chaos. Watch this space – we’ll be announcing more acts in the coming weeks, and it’s guaranteed to be a lineup worth getting properly excited about. Get tickets here.

This year’s Dork’s Day Out isn’t just a standalone party – it’s the climactic finale of our huge Dork 100 celebrations. Kicking off right now, our 100th issue festivities begin with a special three-day seaside takeover at The Great Escape in Brighton from 15th-17th May, featuring sets from Coach Party, SOFY, Lynks, piri & tommy, The Pill, Talk Show and loads more. We’ll be following that up with more festivals, shows, announcements and fun stuff all over the place as we head into the main event.

From there, the celebrations roll into London for a month-long festival in July. We start at Colours Hoxton on 10th July with hyperpop faves piri & tommy, then head to the Sebright Arms on the 11th to see indie troublemakers Courting tear through their debut album ‘Guitar Music’. After a quick lie-down, we’ve got a full week residency at the legendary 100 Club, with five former Dork cover stars taking the stage from 15th-19th July, including indie royalty Black Honey, fresh faves Divorce, a special secret headliner (yes, really – they play arenas, don’tcha know), indie rabble-rousers Sports Team and alt-rap maestro Antony Szmierek. Throw in Dork’s Big Pub Quiz on 21st July, another Sebright gig with Lime Garden (22nd July), plus our all-day takeover of Truck Festival’s Nest Stage (26th July), and you’ve got a July that’s more of a marathon than a sprint. Bring snacks, hydrate, stretch.

Tickets for Dork’s Day Out 2025 on 2nd August are on sale now right here. It’s an 18+ event, and it’s set to sell fast — grab yours ASAP and we’ll see you down the front for a summer of noise, nonsense and unforgettable pop moments. You only turn 100 once, right?
