Mike Skinner of The Streets took FABRICLIVE 800 feet above London with a late DJ set at The View from The Shard, joined by Oneman and ESC.
Mike Skinner of The Streets played a DJ set at The View from The Shard at London Bridge on Friday 8 August 2025, for fabric’s FABRICLIVE night. Oneman and ESC joined him.
Skinner founded The Streets in Birmingham in the early 1990s, while he was still a teenager. A demo he sent to a record shop in north London became the first single, “Has It Come to This?”, in 2001.
The debut album, Original Pirate Material, followed in 2002 and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. A Grand Don’t Come for Free reached number one in 2004 and carried “Dry Your Eyes”, the project’s only number-one single. A sixth album followed in 2023.
The night was a high-rise edition of FABRICLIVE, held from 23:00 to 04:00 on the 72nd floor. It came three months after fabric’s sold-out first night at the Shard with Joris Voorn.
Oneman and ESC completed the bill, on a night fabric described as a genre-hopping ride through garage, grime and bass.
