Dodgy
Sam’s Stage (Main Stage), Friday 2027
If there's a band made for a summer festival, it's Dodgy.
Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller formed the band in Hounslow in 1990 and became one of Britpop's best-loved bands. Their sunny, melodic guitar pop gave us In A Room, Staying Out For The Summer and Good Enough, which also turned up on the Sliding Doors soundtrack.
2026 has been a big year for them. Their classic album Free Peace Sweet turned 30, and they released Hello Beautiful, their first new album in a decade. Fans and critics have called it an older, wiser Dodgy, and the new songs sit happily alongside the old favourites. Three-part harmonies, plenty of banter and a set full of feel-good tunes. Sunglasses optional, singing along compulsory.
