It seems unreasonable to say it, but by the time 2022’s edition of The Great Escape comes round this May, it will have been three full years since the annual new music extravaganza last took to Brighton’s multitude of seaside haunts. Like most, we can't wait to get back to it next month, but before then, we're bringing you something extra special.

Later this month, we're hosting two special editions of Dork's Night Out alongside The Great Escape at London's iconic 100 Club, showcasing some of the hottest new acts on this year's line-up.

The first, on 21st April, features Nice Swan signed noiseniks Opus Kink and Malady, and Leeds' buzzy newcomers L'objectif. The second, on 28th April, plays host to the mighty Peaness, Molly Payton and Sad Boys Club.

You can grab tickets for both shows now - for the 21st April here and here, and for the 28th April here and here.

We'll also be heading down to the festival itself for a special showcase this May. More on that 'soon'.
