Down With Boring returns tonight from The Great Escape with Picture Parlour, Westside Cowboy, piri & tommy, and Lynks

After a weekend of seaside nonsense, sticky floors and far too many tote bags, Down With Boring is back tonight (27th May) with a stacked Great Escape 2025 special. We had three stages across the weekend (not to brag, but yes, that is a lot of stages), and we’re recapping the chaos the only way we know how — by talking to some of our favourite artists on the line-up.

We catch up with Picture Parlour, fresh from a huge return at Dork’s Night Out at the 100 Club and newly armed with their latest single ‘Who’s There To Live Without You?’. The band dropped in for an early afternoon chat that set the tone for a busy weekend in Brighton. We also speak to Westside Cowboy, the name on everyone’s lips across the festival. We caught them before their fourthshow of the weekend (yes, really), just as it became abundantly clear they were one of this year’s must-sees.

piri & tommy also stopped by to talk all things new era – ahead of their headline slot at our upcoming Dork 100 show at Colours Hoxton, before their euphoric performance at our Dork Closing Party on the beach. And finally, we’re joined by Lynks, who returned to The Great Escape with a bang – rightfully headlining our beach stage with a set full of anthems, sweat, and very welcome chaos.

It’s a packed one, full of great chat and even better music. Tune in from 8pm tonight on Dork Radio. You know the drill. If you miss it, don’t worry – you’ll be able to download the new edition of Down With Boring via all the usual podcast providers, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more.
