Girlband Summer🎤: The highlights
Listen again to our Girlband Summer!
Last updated 20th Jul 2026
Across July, we celebrated the girlbands that defined the 80s, 90s and 00s – from Bananarama and All Saints to Sugababes and Girls Aloud.
We had the music, memories and iconic moments behind the groups we grew up loving — with special shows and exclusive documentaries.
