Keane to play Live In London show at Apple Store

The official statement goes a little something like this…

Keane will be performing a special acoustic set on Tuesday evening, 12th December 2006 as part of the exclusive iTunes Live from London series at the Apple Store on Regent Street.

The set will feature songs from Keane’s Number One album Under The Iron Sea, which was one of the biggest releases on the iTunes Store this year. The set will also feature some surprises. The session is a unique opportunity to catch Keane live in a small and intimate environment in front a specially invited audience of 350 people prior to the kick off of their UK Arena tour in February 2007.

This exclusive event also celebrates the reopening of Apple’s state-of-the-art theatre at the newly remodelled Apple Store on Regent Street which now provides an additional 10,000 square feet of shopping area and some stunning new features including a dedicated iPod bar.

For the first time ever the Live In London event will be filmed and screened in January in selected flagship Apple Stores in the US and Japan.

Exclusive songs from the event will be available to download from the iTunes Store from the week of 18th December 2006. An exclusive video of the event with additional content will be available on the iTunes Store in January.
