The Streets are heading back on tour.
Mike Skinner and the band will perform the iconic 2004 album A Grand Don’t Come For Free in full for the first time.
A UK tour is planned for 2026, with a stop scheduled in Manchester. at Castlefield Bowl on Saturday, July 11.
The album, which debuted at number one on the UK charts, includes some of The Streets' most memorable tracks, including Dry Your Eyes, Fit But You Know It, and Blinded By The Lights.
Frontman, Mike Skinner, said: "A Grand Don’t Come For Free was a moment in time — for me, and for everyone who grew up with it.
"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 will be the first time the album is performed in its entirety, giving fans the chance to experience the full narrative of love, loss, chaos, and hope as Skinner originally intended.
Tickets for the tour will be available through an artist presale starting on Tuesday, October 14, at 10am.
