Our Britpop special is on sale now, celebrating the era when British guitar bands ruled the 1990s. Thirty years ago, Britain experienced a musical resurgence not seen since the 1960s.
What the Special Covers
Britpop was the term coined for a resurgence of interest in British guitar bands and British culture, starting in the early 1990s and peaking around 1996. Bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Elastica and Supergrass were the biggest acts, dominating music press, tabloids, lads' magazines, and serious newspapers.
Our special takes an in-depth look at the musical careers of the main acts, the songs that topped the charts, the big characters, memorable moments, rows, rivalries, and classic albums that still sound great today. We also examine Britpop's lasting legacy and what the main players are up to now.

The special is available online, delivered directly to your door, or you can purchase it in participating UK supermarkets, high street retailers and independent newsagents from Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Online postage and packaging costs apply.
