KEANE ANNOUNCE UK ARENA TOUR 2009

**altsounds**

Keane are proud to announce their UK Arena tour, to begin in January 2009.

Keane has made the most talked about return of the year, with their confident, pop tour-de-force; their third album Perfect Symmetry, which will be released on 13th October.

Perfect Symmetry has already thrilled and surprised in all quarters and has shown Keane to be one of the most talented and timeless bands in the world. Their pop brilliance shines so brightly that Perfect Symmetry has quickly become one of the hottest and most-anticipated albums of the year.

Keane are well recognized for their impressive live shows, and this reputation has seen them grow to Arena status. Tom Chaplin confidently steers their exuberant show with his unique charisma and unrivalled vocals, which has secured his place as an International star.

As they left the stage of the O2 Arena on 24th July 2007, to a record-breaking audience on their feet, they could not wait to return.

“We’re incredibly excited to announce an arena tour of the UK and Ireland in January and February next year. These kind of shows are what make us tick. We truly believe that we have made a very special album and we hope you’ll enjoy the adventure of hearing it live - the opportunity to play our new songs adds a whole new dimension. See you there.” Keane

The Guardian
“Perfect Symmetry is a sparky pop album, a million watts brighter and bolder than their previous two records.”

Clash
“Perfect Symmetry’ bewilders, enchants and entices, and it’s to our advantage that the band haven’t compromised in delivering a confident and brave new sound.”

Q Magazine
“A genuine reinvention… a liberal sprinkling of the best of 80’s pop.”

Music Week
“An adventurous return.”

Popjustice.com
“We can't exactly say it's a return form - because the band never really went off form - it's a real step up in gear for a band so good they became one of Britain's best guitar bands without even having a guitarist.
