Dodgy have kicked off 2026 with a new single, album news & UK Tour as their third studio album Free Peace Sweet turns 30.
The band's new single It’s Not The End was released last Friday (20th February), the next track to be taken from their forthcoming album, Hello Beautiful, now confirmed for release on Friday 1st May 2026.
Listen to the track below:
Frontman Clark explains: “It’s Not The End’ was arranged really quickly in the studio during the sessions for the new album. It started with a simple lyric that felt really direct and honest, and the song just seemed to guide us where it wanted to go. It became an instant favourite. Reviews have said it sounds like an older, wiser, deeper Dodgy, which is exactly how I’d want us to sound in 2026.”
Drummer Mathew Priest says: “It feels like the right time for the band. The reaction to the new music has been brilliant and we’re really looking forward to taking these songs out around the country. Independent venues are where we started and they’re still the lifeblood of live music, so it’s important for us to keep playing them.”
Hello Beautiful is Dodgy’s sixth studio album and their first full release since 2016’s What Are We Fighting For. To support the new record, Dodgy will head out across the UK this spring, before heading out on dates to celebrate three decades of Free Peace Sweet with a series of very special shows featuring guests The Icicle Works.
Clark said of the dates, which feature special guests The Icicle Works: “We’ve been through so much together as a band, and the fact we’re still here making new records and playing shows we genuinely love is something we don’t take for granted. The new album feels like a fresh start, and celebrating Free Peace Sweet at the same time makes 2026 feel pretty special for us.”
