The Streets play 'final' T In The Park show

The Streets played to a packed-out Slam Tent during the closing day of T In The Park (July 12), during what frontman Mike Skinner announced was likely to be their last ever set at the festival.

Skinner has already stated that his next album, due out in 2010, will be the fifth and last under The Streets imprint.

"Next year is probably gonna be the last year for The Streets," Skinner confirmed to boos from the crowd after a deliriously received version of his sole UK chart-topping single 'Dry Your Eyes'. "No, listen, listen. And you don't usually do the same festival two years in a row because the promoters don't like it.

"But I've done this loads of times, and this is one of the best festivals, one of the best crowds, I really mean it… this is the only festival I've ever been to that has it so hard on the last day."

Earlier in the set, Skinner, sporting a T-shirt with his name and a picture of a banana and mud-defying white trainers, had started a glow stick fight with the huge and rowdy audience.

"There seems to be a lot of glow stick throwing," he noted. "But seriously, you need to not throw the glow sticks at me, or we're not gonna get the enjoyment. So on the count of three, we're all gonna throw our glow sticks at each other."

A two-way hail of neon followed, and Skinner launched immediately into 'On The Edge Of A Cliff', adding at the end of the song, "The first rule of touring in Scotland is, 'never ask anyone to throw anything'. My nose hurts."

Closing with 'Blinded By The Lights', the star shed his top to wrap himself in a Scottish flag, getting the whole crowd to crouch on the floor before jumping and dancing on his cue.
