A massive festival tune for Britpop Reunion is Staying Out For The Summer by Dodgy Cover. This track was released twice by Hounslow 90s band Dodgy, once in October 1994 which reached 38 in the charts and then again in June 1995 where it got up to number 19. It quickly became one of the defining feel-good anthems of the Britpop era. With jangly guitars, sun-soaked melodies and carefree lyrics, the track perfectly captured the optimism and youthful energy that made 90s British indie music so iconic.

While the band achieved chart success with other singles later on, this song has endured as a cult favourite — instantly recognisable from the opening chords and guaranteed to transport audiences straight back to the golden age of Cool Britannia. For many fans, it represents everything that was great about 90s indie: positivity, melody, and unforgettable singalong moments.
