Dork's Night Out is heading Home & Away to Manchester and London with Hot Wax, The Rills and more

Fresh off the back of our biggest party yet, Dork’s Night Out is heading home and away this September, with a pair of special shows.

Two days, two cities, and some of the most exciting new bands around, we’ll be at London’s Colours Hoxton on 13th September, then Manchester’s Deaf Institute a day later on 14th September.

As for ‘the bands’ - we’ll be joined on both dates by Hastings’ hype-hogging trio Hot Wax. Gathering up column inches and playlist placements at the sort of pace that screams ‘big 2024 ahead’, they’re a raw, rambunctious gang who know how to make a show go off. Their debut EP, ‘A Thousand Times’, showed huge promise, and live they’re even better. Promise.

The Rills are no slouches, either. The up-and-coming-and-also-brilliant indie legends in waiting will be joining us on both shows, arms full of future anthems. The bill will be rounded off with yet more fresh talent - in Manchester with Bandit, and with a London guest we'll tell you about in the coming weeks. Keep your eyes open for that.

Tickets for the shows are on sale now, priced at just £9 plus booking fee. You can grab London tickets via Dice, and Manchester tickets via Fatsoma. We'll see you there.
