DODGY RETURN WITH FIRST NEW MUSIC IN A DECADE
Hello Beautiful lands this September – alongside a 2026 full album and UK tour
Britpop originals Dodgy are back! Ten years since their last release, the trio returns this autumn with a brand-new single ‘Hello Beautiful’, out Friday 26 September 2025 on Flip Flop Records. And this is not all – the band have also released a string of live shows and the promise of a full album in May 2026.
The sound of Dodgy is what a Britpop fan would expect – soaring harmonies, trademark optimism and classic energy, all from a band that is still pushing forward 35 years after their first gig. To celebrate the single’s release, Dodgy will play a special launch show at Bacchus Wine Bar in Kingston upon Thames (the original home of the Dodgy Club) marking exactly 35 years since the club first opened its doors.
Dodgy will also hit the road for a headline UK tour this October, starting at Edinburgh’s Liquid Room on Thursday 2 October, before joining forces with fellow 90s icons Black Grape for a co-headline run in November and December, including a festive finale at Manchester Academy on 20 December.
