They were joined onstage in Mumbai with Anoushka Shankar to play a special version of “Everybody’s Changing” - watch here.   Hopes and Fears was a landmark album for Keane and has set all kinds of records in the process. It’s one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history having sold over 2.5 million in the UK in its first year, and a million in the USA propelled by their absolutely classic song “Somewhere Only We Know”. Hopes and Fears is 9x platinum in the UK, a remarkable achievement. The album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. KEANE photo credit: Alex Lake Keane emerged alongside a new vanguard of bands that would change the shape of music: Snow Patrol, Scissor sisters, the Killers and Coldplay. They were the first to create a sound solely revolving around keyboards which enhanced the emotional pull of their songs. “Everybody’s Changing” from Hopes and Fears became a fan favorite and a top five hit.   In 2004, Keane were the biggest selling British artist in the UK. The following year they won two BRIT Awards: Best British Album for Hopes and Fears and British Breakthrough act award as voted for by Radio 1 listeners.   “Somewhere Only We Know” has enjoyed a recent revival on Tik Tok going viral in Asia which lit the spark for a global renaissance of the track which is currently clocking up over two million Spotify streams a day, and in the past 12 months has become Island Records’ biggest selling single. In total, it has been streamed over a billion times.   This year’s tour will celebrate Keane’s acclaimed body of work from their imperious debut Hopes and Fears through to their 2019 studio album Cause and Effect.   Lead singer Tom Chaplin says; “I remember standing by that amazing old mixing desk at Heliocentric Studios where we made Hopes and Fears, listening to an early mix of ‘Somewhere Only We Know.’ I had this feeling that we’d come up with something that had an extra bit of magic. Making music is so often a process full of doubt…but on this occasion there was something undeniable about what we’d created. Clearly a lot of people felt the same when the album came out!” Founding band member and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley said: “When I think about these songs, I still picture us playing them in little rooms in pubs around the UK. I remember how exciting it was watching the crowds start to grow. Those songs opened the door to another dimension for us; everything that has happened in our lives since then was born out of that moment. It’s an incredible privilege for us that people are still listening after all this time.” TOUR DATES: UK TOUR DATES May Fri 3rd LEEDS, First Direct Arena SOLD OUT Sat 4th BIRMINGHAM, Utilita Arena SOLD OUT Sun 5th MANCHESTER, Co-Op Live SOLD OUT Tue 7th BOURNEMOUTH, BIC SOLD OUT Wed 8th CARDIFF, Utilita Arena SOLD OUT Fri 10th LONDON, The O2   Sat 11th LONDON, The O2   Mon 13th DUBLIN 3Arena   WORLD TOUR DATES April Mon 1st MEXICO CITY, Sports Palace SOLD OUT Wed 3rd GUADALAJARA, Auditorio Telmex SOLD OUT Fri 19th AMSTERDAM, AFAS Live SOLD OUT Sun 21st KOLN, E-Werk SOLD OUT Mon 22nd KOLN, E-Werk SOLD OUT Wed 24th BRUSSELS, The Cirque Royal SOLD OUT Thu 25th BRUSSELS, The Cirque Royal SOLD OUT Fri 26th PARIS, L’Olympia SOLD OUT Sat 27th PARIS, L’Olympia SOLD OUT   September Wed 4th BERKELEY, CA, The Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley   Thu 5th LOS ANGELES, CA, The Greek Theatre   Fri 6th SAN DIEGO, CA, Humphreys Concerts By The Bay SOLD OUT Sun 8th SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Venue TBC   Mon 9th DENVER, CO, Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre   Wed 11th DALLAS, TX, The Majestic Theater SOLD OUT Thu 12th AUSTIN, TX, ACL Live At The Moody Theatre   Sat 14th ATLANTA, GA, The Eastern   Sun 15th NASHVILLE, TN, Ryman Auditorium   Tue 17th MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Palace Theater   Wed 18th CHICAGO, IL, The Chicago Theatre   Fri 20th TORONTO, ON, The Queen Elizabeth Theater SOLD OUT Sat 21st PHILADELPHIA, PA, The Met   Mon 23rd BOSTON, MA, MGM Music Hall At Fenway   Tue 24th NEW YORK, NY, Radio City Music Hall   Thu 26th WASHINGTON, DC, The Anthem SOLD OUT   Hopes And Fears 20 - Original Album Remastered Track Listing  Somewhere Only We Know Bend And Break We Might As Well Be Strangers     Everybody's Changing Your Eyes Open She Has No Time Can't Stop Now Sunshine This Is The Last Time On A Day Like Today Untitled 1    Bedshaped   B-Sides & Rarities: Snowed Under Fly To Me Something In Me Was Dying She Opens Her Eyes To The End Of the Earth (Previously Unreleased)  The Way You Want It (Previously Unreleased) Allemande (Previously Unreleased) Walnut Tree Love Actually Wonderful River (Previously Unreleased) More Matey Get Away From Yourself (Previously Unreleased) Demos: (all previously unreleased) Somewhere Only We Know (Tim Demo, September 2002) Somewhere Only We Know (Demo, December 2002) Bend And Break (Demo, April 2002) We Might As Well Be Strangers (Tim Demo, September 2003) Everybody's Changing (Demo, July 2002) Your Eyes Open (Demo, April 2002)  She Has No Time (Demo, October 2002) Can't Stop Now (Demo, January 2003) Sunshine (Demo, February 2002) This Is The Last Time (Demo, May 2002) On A Day Like Today (Tim Demo, September 2003) Untitled 1 (Tim Demo, May 2002) Bedshaped (Demo, October 2002)   7” Vinyl Single: Side A: Love Actually (Studio Version) Side B: Love Actually (Demo)   Keane "Everybody's Changing (Official Music Video)" Link: https://youtu.be/RSNmgE6L8AU?si=HhmNbKjL9DdlJ6-9

Keane releases lyric video for 'Love Actually'

 

Keane Releases Lyric Video for "Love Actually" Featuring Poignant and Memorable Scenes from the Film WATCH HERE U.S. Tour Kicks of September 2024! Keane "Love Actually" Link: https://keane.lnk.to/LAvideoPR DECEMBER 15, 2023 (New York, NY) --  Following the reveal of their special, previously unreleased single "Love Actually" earlier this month, Keane have released its accompanying lyric video. Coinciding with the 20th Anniversary celebrations of their acclaimed debut album Hopes and Fears, the beautifully poignant single's stunning lyric video cuts some of the memorable scenes of the classic British film Love Actually which turns 20 as well.  Watch it HERE As previously reports, "Love Actually" was originally written for 2003 Christmas romantic comedy and the band have finally recorded a version 20 years after its inception which was produced by the band and led by Tom Chaplin’s undeniable vocal.  Listen to "Love Actually" HERE. Tim Rice-Oxley of Keane: “In 2002 we were an unsigned band; and our friend and manager Adam was working for the producer of Love Actually. While they were making the film, Adam suggested we should quickly write a song and he’d see if he could get it into Richard Curtis’ hands…and maybe we could sneak onto the soundtrack and get our big break! Needless to say it didn’t turn out that way, but Richard always very graciously said he loved the song and wished he’d put it in the film. We all loved the song too, but having called it ‘Love Actually’, it was very hard to do anything with it! In fact, for 20 years whenever I’ve played a new demo to my mum, her response has usually been “Hmm…when are you going to record ‘Love Actually’?” Well, the film Love Actually is 20 years old now, which at last gives us a perfect reason to record our song properly.”   Richard Curtis, writer and director of Love Actually: “Everyone makes mistakes - even if they’re understandable ones. When I first listened to ‘Love Actually’ by this totally unknown combo called Keane, I thought it was beautiful. I tried really hard to put it in the film - but in the end it was a little melancholy and, dare I say, a bit DEEP for the film I’d made. Of course, I realized what a dreadful mistake that had been when six months later Hopes and Fears was Number 1 in the charts. It is SO wonderful that the song is now being released for everyone to hear. I’ve listened to it a lot over the years and love it even more now than I did then. And this time, myself and my son Spike have made a little edit of the whole film to go with the song. I think I actually prefer that three minute version of 'Love Actually' to the long, chaotic film that’s been doing the rounds now for 20 years.” KEANE Photo credit: Alex Lake Keane will release a special remastered version of Hopes and Fears, undoubtedly one of the best debut albums ever, on May 10, 2024 exactly 20 years after its initial release. On the same day, the band play London’s 02 Arena as part of a world tour that kicks off April 1st in Mexico City before reaching Europe and the UK.
