The Streets' Mike Skinner has revealed plans for his forthcoming UK tour, explaining that during his shows he will have a section where he encourages fans to introduce themselves to one another.

Skinner also revealed plans to create a parting-of-the-sea-style section in the show where he runs through the crowd then crowd-surfs back to the stage.

"It all started with our 'go low' trick on the last tour [which had the audience ducking then leaping]," he told BBC Newsbeat.

"We've got a new one where we get people to say hello to people they don't know," he continued. "There's another one which is pretty spectacular. The crowd divide down the middle and I run up to the crowd and surf back to the front."

The new album by The Streets, 'Everything Is Borrowed', is out today (September 15).

Glasgow Barrowlands (October 4)
