The Streets have announced they are reforming for a greatest hits tour.

The hip hop and garage act fronted by Mike Skinner will hit the road in April 2018, seven years after they last toured.

The tour is called The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light, after one of Skinner’s recent tracks, and stops will include Birmingham and Leeds.

They will play two dates at the O2 Academy Brixton.
