Keane

A Keane Live show is a thing of great joy.

As a fan since the early days, I have been to many different venues and it doesn't matter whether you are standing with 200 other souls or seated in the big Arena, Keane always deliver.

They have a large hard core international support (people traveling for hours to queue outside a tiny venue at early o'clock in the morning is quite 'normal') and always ensure that they interact with their fans as much as possible and seem to genuinely appreciate the support they've had over the years.

Tours are usually about promoting albums, and so people can be disappointed if their favourite doesn't get played, but by then end of the gig, no-one ever goes home unhappy. Most of them have no voices the following day because sing-alongs are quite central to the Keane live shows.

Now that they've decided to take a break, a lot of us are left wondering what's next.

My advice, if you ever get the chance to see them live, go along, you will be pleasantly surprised. I've seen them more than 20 times (which makes me a lightweight compared to some of the fans I know) and have never left a gig without a song in my head and a great big beaming smile....

Went to the Apollo in Manchester to see Keane.I can honestly say that this was the best gig I have ever been to and i've seen most of the major names over 30 years! Sound and lighting were excellent and the band's performance was flawless.Fantastic energy on stage and they endeared themselves to the audience with their natural warmth and were very humble considering how much success they've already had.The playlist covered alot of the new album but also included all the old favourites and the songs were very well intergrated into the setlist. Tom's voice has to be one of the best and emotional in modern music and "A bad dream" and "Bedshaped" brought tears to a few eyes. Absolutely magnificent show and highly recommended and I guarantee you won't see a better gig.

The only downside was that they did't come on until 8.45 so we had to miss the encore as we needed to catch the last train home.

Keane were on FIRE last night!! I didn’t think the venue would be right for them being such a formal setting, however it really worked. Audience didn’t talk during songs/ in between (so annoying when people do that!) & the sound & acoustics were fantastic. They played all the great songs plus many of their new tracks, had the place absolutely rocking. Engaged with the crowd & was an absolute joy to see them. Outstanding

Concert itself was good but at some point you get distracted by the fact that everybody around you is filming the concert with some crappy cheap phones some of them not even filming the stage but the screens for minutes.

So yeah, it's not the band but the quality of the fans :)

Also, the sound quality in the Movistar Arena could have been better. A lot of echo and not much deepness in the sound.

I am a huge fan of shows. I manage to go at least 3/4 shows per year because i’m convinced that music is one of the most beautiful things life can give us. And keane is beyond that. I’ve seen them 10 years ago, and I already loved them by then, but this time was even better. Definitely on my top 3 of best concerts i’ve ever been to. A MUST GO for anyone. Thank you❤️

No saben lo que me dolió no verlos en concierto en Colombia, preciso en ese momento estaba cumpliendo otro sueño... viajar por primera vez a Europa pero cuando supe que venian a Colombia y que no podría estar sentí demasiada tristeza a pesar del lugar donde estaba, espero verlos nuevamente en Colombia

I have seen Keane 7 times in concert, and they NEVER fail to disappoint! They really know how to put on a show, and Tom Chaplins voice sails across the audience, enchanting you for more. I have been listening to Keane since they came onto the scene in 2005, and I highly recommend seeing them!

I love the show!!
Tom’s voice sounded better than ever.
The show as emotional and the band connected with the audience at a very personal level. It felt really good to see them together again as I missed their last concert in the Bay Area.
Bravo to a great come back!!

They were really good and lovely, I have always loved them a lot, their sound is still amazing! But this is my first time being so closed with them and it was a wonderful experience
It was well organised by Rought Trade and their staff were lovely

They never disappoint, it's always a pleasure to see them live, I'm a big fan and can't be very objective but they are Soooo good and even better every time. It was a bit more than two hours which passed so quickly but I'll never get enough of them
