The encore is where a gig either becomes legendary or fizzles out. We've picked five British anthems that tend to close shows in style — which one would you queue up last?
Put the items in your preferred order.

Don't Look Back in Anger - Oasis
Whether it's Knebworth or a wedding in Wolverhampton, everyone knows every word. Sally can wait, but this chorus never does.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Headbanging optional but strongly encouraged. Freddie's masterpiece turns any venue into Wembley '86.

Mr. Brightside - The Killers
Technically American, but legally adopted by every British dancefloor since 2004. Try not screaming the bridge — impossible.

Wonderwall - Oasis
Yes, another Oasis tune — fight us. It's the song that ends every uni house party and most stadium gigs.

Hey Jude - The Beatles
Paul McCartney basically invented the singalong outro with this one. Four minutes of song, three minutes of crowd doing the work.
