Due to unprecedented demand, Keane have announced and sold out a third un-scheduled show in L.A at Largo on the 7th December in just 2 minutes. The shows were sold exclusively through Keanemusic.com.

In America to appear on the renowned television programmes The Ellen Degeneres Show (2nd December) and Jimmy Kimmel Live (3rd December), the band unexpectedly decided to play three intimate shows, as a preview for their forthcoming American tour in 2009. All shows sold out within 15 minutes, resulting in a Keane take over of L.A next week.

The news comes as Keane celebrate a stunning run of success in 2008; their third album Perfect Symmetry charted top ten across the world, including number 7 in the US Billboard Charts, and saw the band universally acclaimed for their remarkable reinvention.

The title song from Perfect Symmetry is released on 29th December, after which the band will embark on their UK Arena Tour, beginning at the Odyessey Arena in Belfast on the 23rd January, and concluding in London with two O2 Arena dates.
