The legendary Mike Skinner and his iconic project The Streets will be stopping at Dour Festival on 19th July for a unique performance of devastating beats and urban poetry. The true icon of British hip-hop, Mike Skinner has transcended genres by fusing UK garage, drum & bass, house, bassline, grime and rap to capture the raw essence of everyday life with incomparable accuracy.

Since the early 2000s, The Streets have embodied a style that’s instantly recognisable: a sharp eye for the realities of British youth, hard-hitting lyrics and a rare ability to transform the mundane into an experience. With five albums and a mixtape to his name, Mike Skinner has captured the emotions and contrasts of an entire generation. His signature tracks such as Fit But You Know It, Blinded by the Lights and Dry Your Eyes have created generational anthems and an unbreakable bond with his audience.

After more than a decade without a studio album, The Streets is back with The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light, a ground-breaking project combining music and film. This modern film, directed entirely by Mike Skinner, explores the world of clubs and the often chaotic reality of London nightlife. The album is a veritable immersion into the intoxicating atmosphere of the dancefloors, with powerful basslines and meticulous production, carried by Mike Skinner’s unique pen.

On 19th July, Dour Festival will be vibrating to the sound of The Streets, with their raw energy and unequalled authenticity. A unique opportunity to rediscover the band’s classics and immerse yourself in the world of their latest opus.
