Dodgy are back with their first new music in ten years and a full UK tour. Their brand-new single “Hello Beautiful” is out Friday 26th September, a glorious reminder of everything that made the band so special – shimmering guitars, soaring harmonies and infectious optimism.
Classic Dodgy, yet full of renewed energy, the track marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for a band still writing its own story after 35 years together.
“Hello Beautiful” is the first single from Dodgy’s forthcoming sixth studio album of the same name, due for release in May 2026. The record has been a long time coming – their first since 2016’s What Are We Fighting For.
According to the band themselves, Dodgy’s new material is the most accomplished work yet, distilling everything they have lived through over the past decade into a collection of songs that feels both timeless and timely.
To celebrate the release, Dodgy – formed in Hounslow – will return to their roots with a special single launch event on Friday 26th September at Bacchus Wine Bar, Union Street, Kingston upon Thames. The venue holds huge significance for the band, as it was once home to the original Dodgy Club, where they first began to make their mark on the live circuit. When the band performs there in September, it’ll be precisely 35 years to the day since the venue first launched – a fitting tribute to the much loved club night.
