Keane will play two intimate gigs in Dublin and Belfast this November it has been revealed today.

Following the success of their fourth studio album 'Strangeland' which the band have called their most personal and honest record yet, Keane will play the Olympia Theatre in Dublin and the Waterfront Hall at the end of the year.

It has been 8 years since Keane came onto the music scene with their 2004 award winning album 'Hopes & Fears' and their career has gone from strength to strength since. Their fourth studio album which was released in May went straight to the number one spot in the Irish charts. The band recorded this album with producer Dan Grech who has also worked with Radiohead The Vaccines and Lana Del ray.

Speaking about the album band member Tim Rice-Oxley said 'Strangeland' feels like an adventure that brings with it different things for different people, and like any adventure is full of uncertainty, and the potential for mishap, as well as the possibility of amazing things and glorious discoveries. I love the idea of the journey through 'Strangeland' being a journey of redemption.'

Keane are set to play the Olympia Theatre on the 21st November and the Waterfront Hall on the 22nd November, tickets are priced at €33.50 and £33.00 and go on sale next Friday 10th August nationwide.
