Big Dork Summer: Caity Baser

On 17 July 2026, Caity Baser headlines Big Dork Summer at the 100 Club, 100 Oxford Street, London. Southampton-born and Brighton-based, the singer-songwriter first surfaced during lockdown with songs posted on TikTok, then built a sharp, conversational take on UK pop where melody leads and the writing stays close to everyday life, friendships and messy relationships. Her early mixtape Lil CB gathered first cuts like Average Student, Haters, Say It Like That and Slut Shaming, before she tightened the formula with direct singles Friendly Sex, X&Y, Kiss You and 2020s.

Her 2023 EP Thanks for Nothing, See You Never kept the songs short and candid, a talk-sung delivery riding clean hooks. On stage, that approach lands fast and close-up, as heard since her BBC Introducing slot at Reading and Leeds in 2022 and a first headline tour in 2023. She’s also stepped into pop-dance with Sigala on Feels This Good and Joel Corry on Dance Around It, widening the palette without dropping the diary-like core. With the 2024 mixtape Still Learning, Caity Baser continues to refine that mix. Big Dork Summer brings it into the 100 Club’s tight room for a night of straight-talking pop built to be shouted back.
