KEANE

V Festival photoblog 18 August 2012

17.45: The band are very hot, very sweaty and very pleased with how the show went. They’re all in and around the dressing room chatting to family and friends who’ve come along today.

And that’s it from us. Thanks for all your comments. We’ll leave you with today’s setlist and no doubt see you for another live blog soon.

17.40: And back to the dressing rooms…



17.38: Got there just in time to see the band coming off stage after a triumphant (but blooming sweltering) show…

17.25: RIght, we’re off back out there to take a few more photos…

17.24: And the view from the front…

17.20: The view from up on the viewing balcony thing to the side of the stage…

17.17: There are a lot of people out there…

17.14: These ones show the band going on stage…

17.07: Walking from the dressing room to the stage. (Did we mention it’s REALLY HOT?)

17.02: Warming up in the dressing room, a few minutes before the show.

16.57: Keane are on stage – and those of you in the UK and Ireland can watch it live online at www.vfestival.com right now.

16.29: The view from behind the stage with 21 mins until stage time…

15.56: Here’s Mr Chaplin…

15.45: One hour and five minutes until stage time, and Keane’s instruments are in position back stage…

15.36: Here’s the band doing an acoustic session for Channel 4 earlier (we were stuck on a baking hot M25 at the time – so thanks to Beth for the photo).

15.15: Richard and Jesse, hanging out in the dressing room

14.46: Here’s Tim in the dressing room just now, lost in his laptop…

14:34: Hello folks. So we’ve arrived at V’s Chelmsford site where it is very, VERY hot and Keane are due to play the main stage in about two hours time. As there’s a half decent internet connection (thanks to tour manager Colin), we thought we’d post a few pictures. Starting with a bunch which we took wandering through the site from the carpark to the dressing rooms (a lonnnnnng walk).

This one’s for you Mexico….


And this one’s for anyone who likes to pay money to feel a bit sick…


Spot the Keane T-shirt at the merch stand…


Here’s the main stage, where Keane will be playing…


Here’s some women dressed as bumble bees.


And some men dressed as smurfs…


And that stage again, only from a bit nearer…
