KEANE ANNOUNCE NEW 8-TRACK EP AND ENGLISH FOREST TOUR

Following the worldwide success of their third consecutive Number One album, Perfect Symmetry, Keane are pleased to announce details of a new eight-song EP and a tour of English forests.

The Night Train EP will be released globally on 10th May 2010. It features eight powerful new tracks which were written and recorded during the Perfect Symmetry world tour that saw the band playing to packed arenas in 28 countries, from Australia to Norway, Colombia to South Korea and Lebanon to Switzerland. The EP takes its title from the band's favoured mode of transport during the tour.

The EP includes Keane's genre-busting collaborations with Somali/Canadian rapper K'Naan, ‘Stop For A Minute’ and ‘Looking Back’. "I think those tracks show us in a completely different light," says Keane frontman Tom Chaplin.

Other definite highlights include ‘Ishin Denshin (You've Got To Help Yourself)’, which features Japanese MC Tigarah, as well as the gorgeous 'Your Love', which hangs around a rare lead vocal from the band's Ivor Novello-winning songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley.

Due for release on CD and download, the Night Train EP will be available to pre-order through keanemusic.com, from Wednesday 2nd December. NB: Please note, the artwork in the picture above is the cover of the promo EP, and is not the final artwork.

The band have also announced plans for a summer tour of forests in 2010, including a homecoming show at the Bedgebury Pinetum, just outside the band’s hometown of Battle, East Sussex. Dates are as follows:

10th June – Thetford Forest, Suffolk
11th June – Bedgebury Pinetum, Kent
18th June - Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire
19th June – Sherwood Pines Forest, Nottinghamshire
25th June – Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire
26th June – Cannock Chase Forest, Staffordshire

Tickets for the shows will be available from 9am on Wednesday 2nd December through keanemusic.com, before going on general sale from Friday 4th December via 01842 814612, www.forestry.gov.uk/music and www.keanemusic.com. Tickets will be £32 (subject to booking fee). A full support bill will be announced.

We've made a nifty interactive map showing you where the venues are (zoom in and out with the buttons in the top left, or click on the icons to get directions to each show from where you live)

Can't wait to hear "rare lead vocal" of Mr. R-O... May 2010 is so far away... I read a story of an Irish lad...not yet fifteen and on he passed. How sad it is, a life cut short.....No more time to laugh, to live, to love.....no time to see what he may have become. Even though I'm STILL sadden at my loss...I realize now, how blessed I was. What is it that THIS life holds.. Our destiny laid before us..regardless of the road...A purpose, a plan..few will ever question... or even care to know

Posted by nina at 5:03pm, 05 Dec 2009

I would really like to go, but as I don't have a car or know anybody that drives, I don't really know how I am going to get to these venues. Does anybody know if there is public transport to these venues?

Posted by mpgi_liz at 3:23pm, 02 Dec 2009

Keane, please, you not forget of Brasil. We're waiting for us. Some things do not have as left-leaning. I would like to live to see another show of you. Many kiss to you, my dears. I am happy to you.

Posted by Raissa at 11:46pm, 30 Nov 2009

I feel my biggest lesson I learned, reflecting on the year that just passed was a " discovery"of this "place" . This is the place where I feel who I really myself am, where I can find myself. I realized that good friends could find ...Maybe thi is even my second family. There were filthy days during a weekend,it seemed the things, or people or relations would asphyxiate me.... But it is a ray of hope - for me, finally!- the Night Train EP and Keane summer tour of forests!, mainly on 11th June , at the Bedgebury./knocking on the table/. I don´t know Britain´s forests, but I know Keane- and it promises to be an exciting experience..... peace in, and wonderful week!!! much love

I love these news!!! - - - I'm so excited!! - - - - I don't mind the artwork, even it it's not the final one. Can't wait to listen to the new songs, the result of this collaboration with Mr. K'Naan, and Tim's vocal performance :D (I hoped for this for such a looong time!) I wish I could follow you during the UK tour but I think that's not possible so...I hope you can soon confirm more dates :D I wouldn't mind some more info about this new EP :D - A tracklist for example. or a couple of bits of the songs, and would like to know if Jesse is going to be/has been involved in this new project as well (I thing/hope so)... well I have too many doubts and questions, I know... 5 months are a very long time, and I guess you will have time to keep us busy with all your tricks :D I loved the way you involved your fans during the release of Perfect Symmetry with videos, pictures and blogs... just please don't change website and forum, as you did last time, I could go insane for that O_o Lots of love

Looooove the artwork - I would love to have an EP with that artwork. Ugh, May seems like an eternity. Thank you for SLC - it's a great little snack for in b/n bigger productions.... My God - May, really? Couldn't we just bump whatever other bands need CDs until after Keane? But still grateful you tell us these things before we "hear" them from other sources, even if the anticipation is high. I like the bus joke :)

Posted by picklepine at 5:04am, 30 Nov 2009

Just wanna let you guys know - YOU GUYS ROCK!! Way to go on breaking into American television. USA network uses your "Time To Go" on their MONK's season finale ad. I was a bit shock (in a good way) to hear that song on TV. At first I didn't realize it was your song, I was in the kitchen (cooking), but then I heard Tom's singing voice on TV - woot!! Woot!!! ------- Aloha. From June (Hawaii).

Posted by k3k31974 at 4:26am, 30 Nov 2009

WHAT A WONDERFUL NEWS, GUYS!!! I'M SO HAPPY, I KNOW THE EP WILL BE ANOTHER NUMBER ONE FOR YOU!!! AND I THINK THE MORE IMPORTANT THING TO ME IT'S TIM'S GOING TO SING A SONG, FINALLY... MY DREAM COMES TRUE!!! GOOD FOR YOU TIMOTHY, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! GREETINGS FROM BUENOS AIRES!!!

Tim, congratulations for taking the plunge, so good luck and fingers crossed or as we said in French "On touche du bois/We touch wood (I mean that thing that comes from trees) !... I'm pretty sure this Night Train is gonna be awesome and high-speed... I love to read people's excitement + the artwork and colours are very nice even if this is not the final touch... Great idea to add this little map and here are some exciting times in the offing... Night-night + much love to the woodcutters☺!

I'm looking forward so much to this new tour and will be going along to Cannock (not far from me which is great!) It's also exciting to hear about all the new material. This is like an early Christmas present! Thanks so much, guys. Lots of love, Dawn xxx

why are the cities so split apart? The awkward commute to each place in the order we were given is nuts! Well, I'm either going to just Kent or none unless they trek over to the US. *fingers crossed*

My laptop has gone in for repairs, the other computer what we have is a complete fail so I went out with my mum today and bought a new laptop just so I could get tickets quickly on Wednesday morning while I'm at college and and mum having to leave the house at 9:10am, now that's dedication, right? XD

Posted by FlaviaLima at 4:55pm, 29 Nov 2009

AWESOME! The CD is coming out on the one-year anniversary of when I saw Keane in Oakland, CA. As I went to this concert only knowing one, maybe two songs by this awesome band, and left a rabid fan, it's kind of a neat date for me.

Posted by musicalmeg at 4:53pm, 29 Nov 2009

*Tears of joy* This EP sounds like a wonderful piece of work documenting Keane's adventures around the world during their most recent tour. And it is tremendously exciting that Tim is performing lead vocals on one of the songs! A tour of forests? That seems so fitting and lovely. How I wish I could go. Brilliant that Keane are exercising their creativity and pushing boundaries. Thank you, km.com, for such a nicely written description of this excellent news! I loved the joke about the buses as well. :) And though the featured artwork is not final, please allow me to say that the illustration and the color scheme are gorgeous. WE LOVE KEANE!!!
