Fresh from the release of their latest studio album, Cause and Effect, Keane have announced a European tour for early 2020.  Kicking off on 20 January at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Keane will tour the continent with 16 shows throughout January and February 2020.  The band spent the summer blowing away festival crowds across the UK and Europe and instantly sold out underplays in the US, France and Germany, including shows at La Maroquinerie in Paris and Lido in Berlin. 

CAUSE AND EFFECT is Keane’s follow-up to Strangeland of 2012, which included the singles "Disconnected" and "Silenced by the Night.”  The birth of the new album came as something of a surprise even to the band.  During their hiatus, singer Tom Chaplin had released two successful solo albums but missed his old sparring partner Tim Rice-Oxley.  “I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift,” Tom said.

 Meanwhile Tim, going through his own struggles, found he had written an album’s worth of incredibly personal songs fueled by humour as well as pain. When Tom, bassist Jesse Quin and drummer Richard Hughes heard the songs, they were immediately drawn to them both sonically and lyrically.  From there, the band found themselves back in the studio doing what they love, bringing these songs to life and reconnecting to each other.

As Tim Rice-Oxley says, “We’ve got a lot of great music in us.”  CAUSE AND EFFECT is just that.
