Revered British multi-hyphenates The Streets will take their landmark album A Grand Don’t Come For Free on the road for the first time in full. Mike Skinner and his band will perform the album front-to-back across an exclusive run of shows in the UK in 2026.
Originally released in 2004, ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free‘ remains one of the most important and influential British albums of the 21st century. Entering the UK charts at No.1, the record went multi-platinum and delivered era-defining singles including 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. 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” – Mike Skinner
