The Streets will perform 'A Grand Don’t Come For Free' in its entirety during their 2026 UK tour.

      The Streets, the musical alias of Mike Skinner and his band, have announced an eight-date tour across the UK in 2026, where they will perform their legendary 2004 album ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free’ in its entirety for the first time. These concerts will allow fans to experience the album - a compelling narrative rich in humor, emotion, and optimism - in the order Skinner intended when he wrote the songs over two decades ago. Reflecting on that period, he stated, “I crafted it as a continuous story, even studying screenwriting to help shape it, completely unaware of how people would respond.” He added, “We were seeking something daring to do for the live performance, and we found it here: some tracks have never been played live before, while others we haven't performed in years. It’s a fresh challenge to bring the entire narrative to life on stage, but I have an amazing band, and we always give our all each night. So I’m confident we’ll make discovering what happened to that thousand quid a party every evening.” The tour will commence at Dreamland in Margate on 26th June and will include stops in Bristol, Manchester, London (at the renowned Ally Pally), Ludlow, Leeds, and Essex, concluding on 21st August in Norwich. Tickets will go on general sale starting at 10am BST on Friday, 17th October.

Few artists encapsulate the emotional range of modern club culture like salute. Born in Vienna and now based in Manchester, this producer has been acclaimed for a sound that seamlessly blends joy and sorrow, touring globally with music that resonates just as powerfully on a bustling dancefloor as in the serene aftermath. With each release, they have established a space where happiness, vulnerability, and community thrive together in an ongoing journey. Following the success of their 2024 album ‘TRUE MAGIC’, a luminous collaborative project that captured the essence of connection through music, salute's next step feels both natural and visionary. The release of their own ‘fabric presents’ compilation marks a significant milestone in their transition from emerging producer to a prominent voice in contemporary club music. This compilation reflects salute at a moment of complete creative clarity, channeling years of late nights, shared dance experiences, and emotional ties into a singular, cohesive expression. Confident and engaged, the new mix highlights the music that has shaped their journey, featuring a blend of hidden treasures perfect for the club alongside timeless, genre-defying classics. In a conversation with CLASH, salute discusses the spiritual significance of the club, the responsibility of representing an evolving scene, and the challenge of capturing fleeting, collective magic in a single, enduring mix for fabric. — — How did you initially become involved in music? It all began with my family; we regularly attended church. I spent thirteen years going to a West African Pentecostal church every Sunday, constantly surrounded by music. My parents played a diverse array of genres at home, including reggae, gospel, R&B, soul, and funk. My older brother, who's quite a bit older than me (he was a teen in the ’90s), introduced me to a lot of hip-hop and R&B, and I would sit on his bed absorbing it all. He helped shape my musical taste. By the time I turned 10, I discovered electronic music through video games like Street and SSX on Tour. By 13, I became obsessed with electronic music production and started using a cracked version of FL Studio. What was your experience living in Brighton, and how did it shape your music? Brighton was the first place outside of Austria that I lived in, where I also made many lasting friendships. I spent a lot of time exploring new music on my own. It was when I first encountered club culture—going to places like Concorde2, Patterns (previously Audio), and The Arch, and experiencing The Great Escape. It opened my eyes to the wide variety of music available. I recall my first grime night in 2014 at Concorde with Elijah & Skilliam, Novelist, and others. It was such a vibrant time in the club scene before everyone started filming on their phones. I also met my current manager, Luke, there. Brighton had an amazing community and played a significant role in my formative years in club culture. How does it feel to return to venues in Brighton that you frequented as a clubber? I haven’t performed in Brighton for a while, but when I do, it’s always fascinating to see how the city evolves over time. As a major student city, witnessing the growth of young people's tastes is incredible. It feels nostalgic to revisit the Lanes and relive my student days. Where did you first truly feel free to express yourself? The UK, particularly Manchester, is where I felt liberated to be myself. Coming from Austria, which is more conservative, the cultural diversity of the UK allowed me to explore my identity and become who I wanted to be. There are few countries in Europe that offer such diversity. Manchester has been immensely important to me; I’ve lived here for nearly a decade, almost my entire adult life. I regard it as the city that shaped me. What are your thoughts on releasing a Fabric mix? It reinforces your position within club music... To be honest, I’m just thrilled and eager to move on from my previous work, specifically the last album. I thoroughly enjoyed creating ‘TRUE MAGIC’ and performing it, but at my core, I remain someone who loves dance and club music. I want listeners to experience the broad spectrum of music that has influenced my production and DJ style, so I’m genuinely excited. With club season starting again and longer sets returning, it also feels refreshing to showcase new talent, which is what I aim to do with this compilation. What was your process for curating the Fabric mix? For me, it was about figuring out how to fit a lot of dance music I love into one hour. I’m drawn to Deep House, French House, and Chicago House, along with hard groove sounds. I aimed to incorporate many of my dance music interests into an hour-long mix, gradually building the tempo like a DJ set. I wanted it to resemble a club experience, often blending two tracks simultaneously. There were certain tracks that had to be included, like the Kerri Chandler piece and Sedat
