On Tuesday, July 9th, 2024, Starlite Occident will welcome Keane for the first time, as the beloved British band celebrates the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed debut album “Hopes and Fears“. This event marks a milestone for both the band and the festival, offering fans a unique opportunity to enjoy their music in an unparalleled setting.
Propelled by their iconic hit ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, “Hopes and Fears” has solidified its place as one of the best debut albums ever made. Since then, Keane has released four more albums, with the most recent being “Cause and Effect” in 2019. With over 12 million albums sold worldwide, “Hopes and Fears” ranks among the 40 best-selling albums of all time in the UK. The band has toured in over 40 countries, cementing their reputation as one of Britain’s most beloved groups.
Originating from Battle, East Sussex, Keane is comprised of Tim Rice-Oxley (composer and pianist), Tom Chaplin (lead vocals), Richard Hughes (drummer), and Jesse Quin (bassist), who joined the band fully in 2011. Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Chaplin were school friends in East Sussex before forming Keane. The band’s enduring appeal is based on the honesty of their songs and the emotion in their music, remaining as relevant today as they were twenty years ago.
