The Streets' Mike Skinner

The Streets have announced plans for a huge open-air gig at Cardiff Bay later this year.

Mike Skinner and co. will be performing as part of The Bay Series at Alexandra Head on September 7, 2023.

Support will come from Kojey Radical, Zed Bias and Emmeline with more acts set to be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the show will go on sale this Friday (February 10) at 10am and can be purchased here. A pre-sale will also be held and more information can be found here.

The Streets join previously announced headliners which include N-Dubz who will perform on September 8 and The Chemical Brothers the following night (September 9).

Last year, Mike Skinner’s band shared a trio of new songs in the form of an EP titled ‘Brexit At Tiffany’s’.

The EP’s title track reflected on the end of a relationship – and how it can be, as Skinner described in an accompanying statement, “as messy as leaving Europe”.

In addition to its title track, ‘Brexit At Tiffany’s’ also featured a collaboration with grime artist MC Manga Saint Hilare titled ‘3 Minutes To Midnight’, and closed out with the song called ‘Test Of Time’.

The EP marked his second release last year, after linking up with Master Peace for ‘Wrong Answers Only’.

Skinner’s last full-length release was the 2020 mixtape ‘None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive’, which featured the likes of Tame Impala, IDLES, Greentea Peng and more. In a four-star review, NME called the mixtape both “a testament to Mike Skinner’s intriguing evolution” and “proof of his keen eye for curation”.
