Taking to the stage, Mike Skinner kicked things off with Turn the Page, popping a champagne cork to start things off with a bang.

The outfit also treated fans to the likes of Let's Push Things Forward, Don't Mug Yourself and Has It Come to this?, Never Went To Church and tunes from their 2020 mixtape, None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive.

The singalong moment of the night came courtesy of Dry Your Eyes, which with the help of vocalist Kevin Mark Trail, had the crowd reliving their most painful noughties heartaches.

The encore provided that end-of-the-night, but so right vibe with the likes of Blinded by the Lights and the enduring crowd-pleaser Fit But You Know It.

Short but sweet, The Streets left their fans chanting and dancing into the night, proving to be one of the biggest highlights of the South East London festival so far.

South Facing Festival 2021 continues at the Crystal Palace Bowl until 29 August.
