Small room, big moment: Bastille do The 100 Club for Dork 100
Usually we have a grand intro here to explain why a certain gig matters. But tonight? It's Bastille playing their first show in over 18 months at The 100 Club to celebrate Dork 100. No other words needed for what stands as one of the biggest shows your neighbourhood pop magazine has put on - and one of THE shows of 2025.

Future stardom radiates from every note Liang Lawrence performs. There's a magic that signals not just a brilliant new voice, but one destined to become a favourite. Her blend echoes Cavetown, Medium Build and even Taylor Swift's acoustic moments. Stepping on stage with two band members for a stripped-back set, she immediately captivates the room. 'Kiss My Apocalypse' builds hook upon hook, whilst 'Eulogy' arrives with a tale of bumping into her ex outside Tesco. 'Not A Love Song' closes a set that connects straight to the heart. The 100 Club falls for Liang Lawrence, and it's clear she's destined for bigger stages soon. Future superstar? Confirmed.







With The 100 Club packed and anticipation peaked, Bastille take the stage for one of their most intimate shows in a decade with one question: "What would you little maniacs want to do first?". As 'Good Grief' sweeps through the venue, the reaction captures the night's essence - witnessing this arena-filling, festival-headlining powerhouse in such close quarters. Their return connects to why they've become one of the planet's biggest bands - combining grand vision with intimate precision. "It's been a really long time since we've played a show," remarks Dan, "and it's an honour to do that with Dork and The 100 Club". That pleasure resonates throughout a night of towering highs.
