Keane Announce Last Minute Glastonbury Set

Today Keane have announced plans to play a surprise acoustic set at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The band are due to play the Avalon Stage on Sunday afternoon in a show that almost never happened due to the band playing their own sold out gigs in Yorkshire and Staffordshire on Friday and Saturday nights of the festival.  But the band themselves being huge Glastonbury fans couldn't turn the opportunity down.

"We’ve been going to Glastonbury as punters for years now" says Keane frontman Tom Chaplin.  "I love it there - we all do.  The atmosphere simply cannot be beaten and it's the best place to stumble upon all sorts of amazing acts".

"The festival clashes with our UK Forest Tour this year but we really wanted to get involved with their 40th anniversary celebrations so at the last minute we've decided to play an acoustic set on the Avalon Stage on Sunday afternoon.  We'll be arriving during the early hours of Sunday morning so will get to enjoy the last day of the festival too".

Keane will take to the Avalon Stage at 4.35pm on Sunday 27th June.
