London, clear your evening plans. Dork is heading back to one of the most legendary rooms in the country, and we’re bringing some very loud friends with us.
On Tuesday 5th May, Dork, CloseUp and The 100 Club present Dork’s Night Out, a triple-bill that’s part celebration, part “you’re going to want to say you were there”, and entirely stacked with bands who are about to make a very large dent in your listening habits.
Headlining the night are VILLANELLE, one of the standout names from the Dork Hype List 2026 and a band who already seem to exist on a slightly bigger scale than most. If you’ve caught them live recently, you’ll know exactly what we mean. Their latest single ‘Placebo’ just dropped, and it’s a perfect snapshot of why the hype has been gathering so quickly. Their debut EP ‘Measly Means’ is also out on 6th May. What good timing.
Joining them are Saint Clair, who are one of the most talked-about live bands across London right now. Their shows have quickly become something of a word-of-mouth phenomenon, with crowds leaving already plotting their next chance to see them.
And opening the night are BÆNCH, who first caught our attention when we saw them tearing things up at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg. Hailing from Denmark, the band bring a fizzing, high-energy take on punk that’s both ferocious and massive at the same time.
Put the three together and you’ve got a lineup that captures exactly what Dork’s Night Out is all about. Tickets are on sale now, and if experience tells us anything, it’s that these shows have a habit of disappearing quickly.
