After dropping the alias a number of years ago and exploring other projects, Mike Skinner has shocked fans and unveiled the return of The Streets.
He’ll be bringing back the project for a nationwide tour in 2018, spanning across five cities and six dates, including two in London.
The tour will be named after his current musical output, The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light, where it’s expected he’ll perform a mix of his older and new material.
Speaking on the new tour, Mike Skinner said, “I’ve missed tour buses very much. Which is the least of the reasons why I have decided to tour The Streets again. The other thing I’ve missed is trying to think up what I’m going to say in the gap between the songs. When you DJ they tell you that you don’t need a tour bus and you don’t need to think up things to say between the songs. But seriously, it’s been long enough.
“I have been living with music since making The Streets for nearly as long as I made The Streets. I’m not the guy smoking in the car anymore though, I have become the guy in the club, so I hope I will be excused for putting on after parties in nightclubs after every show.”
