On Stage
Lavish Lounge host Les Trunkwell returns with a Whole Lorra Les this year.
And… well, what can you say about Les Trunkwell that hasn’t already been said?
Turns out, quite a lot — mainly because most people who’ve seen him host before have been left utterly speechless, temporarily stunned, or gently questioning what year it is.
What we can guarantee is this: Les will once again take you on a gloriously unpredictable, mildly unhinged musical roller coaster through some of pop and rock’s best forgotten gems — the ones your brain insists you remember but your phone refuses to acknowledge ever existed.
Along the way, you may also witness his frankly unexplained but consistently alarming talent for channelling deceased pop stars. James Brown, Elvis and Bowie have all reportedly “checked in” recently… though we’re still waiting on official confirmation from beyond the veil.
Either way, it’s a Whole Lorra Les. And that’s exactly as chaotic as it sounds.
Back by questionable demand, Lavish Lounge host Les Trunkwell returns for his second performance of the weekend with… frankly, more Les than anyone medically recommends.
If you caught his first appearance, you’ll already know what’s coming. If you didn’t… there’s really no way to prepare. Part musical mess, part fever dream, Les once again hurtles through pop and rock’s finest forgotten classics with the confidence of a man who has never once doubted himself (despite mounting evidence). Along the way, expect wildly unnecessary cardigan changes, suspiciously inaccurate dance moves, and his increasingly concerning ability to channel deceased music legends. James Brown. Elvis. Bowie. They’ve all apparently crossed over. Whether they meant or wanted to, is another question entirely.
Expect chaos. Expect confusion. Expect at least one moment where you ask yourself, “Is this actually happening?”
Yep. It’s A Whole Lorra Les…Again!
Due to last year’s completely unverified reports of stage rushes and mass fainting episodes during the Les Trunkwell Show on the Obelisk Stage (claims made entirely by Les himself, as far as we can tell), the beige-and-caramel-cardigan-clad, softly menacing icon of middle-aged rock’n’roll returns under stricter supervision.
Previously confined to his “glitteringly small shed” — a space described by experts as “technically indoors, emotionally chaotic” — Les has, for 2026, been officially upgraded.
Yes, it’s time to introduce the all-new: LES SHED et PETIT JARDIN!
A modest expansion of his performance universe, this semi-contained garden micro-empire promises more Les than ever before, now with increased roaming capacity, improved vocal projection, and at least one questionable prop that will almost certainly not make sense but will feel spiritually correct in the moment.
But that’s not all. If one dose of Les isn’t enough to properly destabilise your morning, catch him in full force with the Whole Lorra Les shows on the Faber Alt. x BBC Introducing Stage — where the shed gets left behind entirely, and things become… harder to contain.
Bring coffee. Possibly earplugs. Definitely curiosity.
