Mike Skinner is performing The Streets' landmark 2004 album A Grand Don't Come For Free in full across Australia.
Boisterous British icon and charismatic storyteller, Mike Skinner, will bring the multi-platinum, era-defining record to Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in March 2026.
This marks the first time The Streets will perform A Grand Don’t Come For Free in its entirety, giving fans a chance to experience the full story as it was intended.
Originally released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come For Free entered the UK charts at number one and went multi-platinum. It delivered era-defining singles including Dry Your Eyes, Fit But You Know It and Blinded By The Lights, cementing Skinner as one of the UK’s most original voices. His ability to capture the humour, heartbreak and raw emotion of everyday life with poetic clarity made the album one of the most important and influential British releases of the 21st century.

Breaking through in 2002 with Mercury Prize-nominated Original Pirate Material and its tracks like Has It Come To This?, The Streets’ impact on UK culture and music still resonates today. After multiple albums and a hiatus in 2011, the comeback tour in 2017 sold out in less than a minute, proving the lasting impact across generations of music lovers.
Skinner’s 2023 album The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light marked his return with a full-length project that melds his signature spoken-word lyricism with cinematic storytelling. An inimitable live performer with experience both behind the decks and on the microphone, he’s collaborated with a who’s who of British music – from IDLES to Fred Again, as well as Australia’s beloved Tame Impala.
Known for his undeniable onstage presence, quintessentially British tongue-in-cheek attitude and ability to grip audiences from crowded basements to Glastonbury headline slots, Skinner brings something special to every performance. This tour offers a cinematic journey through love, loss, chaos, heartbreak and hope, delivered with his trademark raw honesty and wit.
Presale kicks off 23 October at 10am local time, with general admission following on 24 October at 10am local time.
