The Streets have announced a 2026 UK tour, performing 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' in full

The Streets are set to take their seminal album 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' on the road across the UK in 2026, marking the first time the album will be performed in its entirety live.

Originally released in 2004, the record features tracks like 'Dry Your Eyes', 'Fit But You Know It' and 'Blinded By The Lights'.

"A Grand Don't Come For Free was a moment in time — for me, and for everyone who grew up with it," Mike Skinner says. "I wrote it as a story from beginning to end, even studying screenwriting to shape it and without the faintest idea how people would react. We’ve been looking for something bold to do with the live show, and we landed here: some tracks have never been played live, others haven’t surfaced in years. It’s a new challenge to bring the whole journey to life on stage, but I have an incredible band and we always give everything every night. So I’m certain we’ll make finding out what happened to that thousand quid a party every night."

The tour is part of a busy period for Skinner, who has released his debut feature film, 'The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light', and contributed to various projects, including a rework for John Lewis' centenary campaign and a single for an Amazon documentary.
