The Streets

The Streets bring A Grand Don’t Come for Free to Brisbane for the first time ever

The Streets, led by the inimitable Mike Skinner, return to the stage with a landmark tour of Australia performing for the first time ever in full, A Grand Don’t Come For Free.

Originally released in 2004, the multi-platinum, chart-topping record defined an era with unforgettable tracks like “Dry Your Eyes”, “Fit But You Know It”, and “Blinded By The Lights”. For the first time ever, fans will experience the album performed in full – a cinematic journey through love, loss, chaos, heartbreak, and hope, delivered with Skinner’s trademark wit and raw honesty.

Since his Mercury Prize-nominated debut Original Pirate Material (2002), Skinner has shaped UK music and culture, earning multiple BRIT nominations and an Ivor Novello Award, while collaborating with artists including Kano, Fred again, Giggs, and FLOHIO. Known for his electric live shows – from basement gigs to Glastonbury stages – Skinner commands audiences with his lyrical storytelling and unmistakable energy. 

This tour offers a rare chance to relive The Streets legacy, combining the full A Grand Don’t Come For Free experience with a selection of Skinner’s most beloved anthems. 


The Streets’ garage anthems sound remarkably of a piece with the present – Skinner remains one of British music’s most vital voices.

- The Guardian

A thrilling blend of chaos and clarity, The Streets’ performance reaffirmed Skinner’s place as one of music’s great storytellers.
