The Streets have announced three new UK headline shows for November 2026, with Mike Skinner and his band set to perform the 2004 album A Grand Don’t Come For Free in full.
The dates follow a summer of major sold out headline shows across the UK, and form part of the first run in which the outfit has played the record from start to finish. Alongside the album, they will also perform a selection of Skinner’s most beloved songs from across his catalogue.
The new gigs land at Southend Cliffs Pavilion on Tuesday 3rd November, O2 Academy Birmingham on Wednesday 4th November, and Cardiff Depot on Friday 6th November. The Birmingham date will be their final show in the city this year.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, 4th September, at 10am from Gigsandtours.com and Ticketmaster.
The limited run of more intimate shows will see The Streets gearing up for their European winter festival dates.
Originally released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come For Free entered the UK charts at No.1, went multi platinum, and delivered defining singles including Dry Your Eyes, Fit But You Know It, and Blinded By The Lights. The record cemented Skinner as one of the UK’s most original voices, capturing the humour, heartbreak and raw emotion of everyday life.
Playing the album in full gives fans the chance to hear the story as it was intended, a cinematic journey through love, loss, chaos, heartbreak and hope, delivered with Skinner’s trademark honesty and wit.
The November dates continue a year built around that record. The Streets headlined Rock N Roll Circus in Sheffield at the end of August, also performing A Grand Don’t Come For Free in its entirety.
The new 2026 UK headline shows are:
- Tuesday 3rd November: Southend Cliffs Pavilion
- Wednesday 4th November: O2 Academy Birmingham
- Friday 6th November: Cardiff Depot
