Now that we are right in the thick of festival season, there is no better time than give Doctor Who’s Tardis a Portaloo makeover and head back to the summer of 1995, the summer of Britpop, of Oasis and Blur’s battle for chart supremacy when the country had already shown its true colours by sending Robson & Jerome to Number One for weeks on end, of Robbie leaving Take That, of Skunk Anansie and The Verve having a competition to see who can play the most festivals. As Supergrass’ timeless indie classic of the season might say, summer 1995 was alright. It was more than alright. Thanks to a heatwave that went on from June all the way through to August, it was perfect festival weather. 'But what were the line-ups like?!', I can hear you ask, which you are well within your rights to do because you clicked on an article promising to show you all the festival line-ups in 1995.
