Here we go, then. Our Very Very Special Guests for Dork’s 100th issue celebrations have officially been revealed – and honestly? We’ve outdone ourselves when it comes to squeezing a VERY big band in a VERY small space. Multi-time cover icons Bastille will headline a once-in-a-lifetime live show at London’s legendary 100 Club on Thursday 17th July.
Yes, that Bastille. The arena-headlining, festival-topping, chart-dominating giants. Playing one of their smallest shows in over a decade. At the 100 Club. For us. And for you.
Marking their first headline show in nearly two years, this is your only chance to see Bastille live anywhere in the world this summer – before they hit the road for their massive UK arena tour celebrating their First 15 Years as a band. It’s an unrepeatable, unmissable moment for fans and Dork readers alike. As part of the fun, they’re the first cover stars for Dork’s massive issue 100, giving an exclusive interview looking back at what’s been, and forward to what’s to come. They’re part of a massive line-up for our landmark edition, of which we’ll be revealing the rest at 4pm BST today (Friday 20th June).
They’ll be joined by rising star Liang Lawrence, who’ll be opening the night – one of the most exciting new artists around right now.
It’s a huge way to mark the milestone of Dork’s 100th issue, with Bastille returning to our cover to help us celebrate in style.
How to Get Tickets
Here’s the bit you need to read very carefully.
The best chance to grab tickets is through our exclusive Dork Presale. To access it, you must have purchased a copy of Dork’s 100th Issue by 1pm BST on Monday 23rd June. You can do that with the form further down this page, or by heading here.
You’ll also need to opt-in to communication from Dork during checkout – tick that little box that reads ‘Sign me up for news and offers from this store’ or miss out.
If you’ve done that, you’ll receive a special email on Tuesday 24th June with a locked link and presale code. The presale opens at 12pm BST on Tuesday 24th June.
Any remaining General Sale Tickets will go live at 12pm on Wednesday 25th June via DICE here.
Note: Buying the magazine does not guarantee tickets – they’re very limited and available first come, first served, max 2 per order.
You’ve been warned. This is one for the history books.
But that’s just one part of it.
Dork 100 is a full-blown month-long festival of pop nonsense, and nearly every single show is now SOLD OUT. From the launch party with piri & tommy at Colours Hoxton to Courting’s chaotic run-through of ‘Guitar Music’ at The Sebright Arms, we’ve been packing them in.
Over at the iconic 100 Club, we’ve had Black Honey, Divorce, and Sports Team all sell out in record time. Our final night with Antony Szmierek? Gone. Lime Garden’s big Sebright takeover? Completely snapped up.
Dork’s Big Pub Quiz on Monday 21st July is your last free shot at glory – no ticket needed, just turn up and show us what you’ve got.
Then it’s all eyes on Dork’s Day Out, our massive all-day party at Signature Brew Blackhorse Road on Saturday 2nd August. Headlined by Porij, with Sofy, Picture Parlour, Aziya, Nxdia, and more joining the bill – tickets for that are flying too.
Basically, if you’re not celebrating Dork 100 with us this summer… what are you even doing?
