Keane

Keane is an English alternative rock band known for its piano-driven sound and has achieved significant commercial success since its formation in 1995. After being named BBC Sound of 2004 winners, English alternative rock band Keane released their debut album, ‘Hopes and Fears,’ which topped the UK Albums Chart and became the UK’s second-best-selling album of that year. The album, which cemented their piano-driven sound, earned them the 2005 Brit Award for Best British Album and British Breakthrough Act. Tim Rice-Oxley, a key member, also received the Ivor Novello award for Songwriter of the Year in 2005.

Following the release of their compilation album ‘The Best of Keane’ in 2013, the band entered a period of hiatus. They reformed in 2018, marking their return with the lead single ‘The Way I Feel’ in 2019, ahead of their fifth studio album, ‘Cause and Effect.’ The album reached number two on the UK charts upon its 2019 release. Most recently, Keane embarked on a major world tour in 2024 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed debut album, ‘Hopes and Fears,’ playing to sold-out venues worldwide. In 2025, the band announced they are back in the studio, actively working on their highly anticipated sixth studio album, with an expected release in 2026.

Their ongoing creative output and sustained touring success underscore Keane’s enduring appeal in the alternative rock landscape.
