The Streets takes to the Scenic Stage at Dreamland as part of the Margate Summer Series on Friday, 26th June 2026, with special guests still to be announced.
This tour marks the first time The Streets – aka vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Skinner – will perform the A Grand Don’t Come for Free album in its entirety.
The Streets broke through in 2002 with the Mercury Prize nominated ‘Original Pirate Material’ – widely regarded as one of the most influential British albums of recent times.
Four BRIT Award nominations for Best Album, Best Urban Act, Best Breakthrough Artist and Best British Male Solo Artist followed.
“Dry Your Eyes”, from 2005 follow-up album ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free’, won an Ivor Novello for Best Song Musically And Lyrically. Skinner additionally received a BRIT Award that same year, for best British Male Solo Artist.
Since then, The Streets have released further LPs “The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living” (2006), Everything Is Borrowed (2008), Computer and Blues (2011) and 2020’s mixtape “None Of Us Are Getting Out of This Alive”, and Skinner has collaborated with a who’s who of British music – from Kano, to Fred Again, Greentea Peng, MasterPeace, Giggs and notably Chris Lorenzo on clubland smash ’Take Me As I Am’.
In recent years, and with his Mike Skinner LTD label, he’s worked with artists at the tip of the spear of breaking British music, with acts like FLOHIO, Ghetts and Grim Sickers.
His most recent album ‘The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light’ marked Mike Skinner’s return with a full-length project.
When The Streets announced a comeback tour in 2017, tickets for the dates sold out in less than a minute.
Originally released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come For Free entered the UK charts at No.1, the record went multi-platinum.
The Streets at Dreamland on June 26, 2026. Tickets on sale from Friday 17th October at 10am
