**SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 – **Undoubtedly one of the best debut albums ever, **KEANE**’
s _**HOPES AND FEARS **_will be released as a special remastered version on **May
10, 2024**, exactly 20 years after its initial release. In celebration of this special
anniversary edition, the band will play a handful of UK dates including London’s
02 Arena on May 10th, officially kicking off their world tour on April 1stin Mexico
City, Keane reaches the U.S. in September, including shows at LA’s Greek Theatre,
Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

A landmark album for Keane, _Hopes and Fears _set all kinds of records upon release
on both sides of the Atlantic. As one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history,
selling over 2.5 million in the UK in its first year, it sold platinum here in the
U.S. (shipping almost 2 million units). The album locked in the #1 position on Billboard’s
Heatseekers chart, propelled by their classic songs “**Somewhere Only We Know**”
and **“Everybody’s Changing”** which claimed the #2 and #6 spots on Billboard Adult
Alternative chart respectively.

Selling over 10 million copies worldwide, _Hopes and Fears_ was hailed by Rolling
Stone as having “more hooks than most pop groups manage in their careers” while 
All Music praised its “beautiful, emotive dalliance of instrumentation.” Bestowing
an A- rating, SPIN called it “soaring, romantic debut,” noting the band’s “ear for
melody that make such an impressive debut out of so few instruments.”

Emerging alongside a new vanguard of bands such as Snow Patrol, Scissor Sisters,
the Killers and Coldplay that would change the shape of music, Keane was the first
to create a sound solely revolving around keyboards, enhancing the emotional pull
of their songs. “**Everybody’s Changing**” from _Hopes and Fears_ quickly became
a fan favorite and a top-five hit.

As a testament to the band’s long-standing legacy, “Somewhere Only We Know” has 
enjoyed a recent revival on Tik Tok, going viral in Indonesia which lit the spark
for a global renaissance of the track which currently clocks up two million Spotify
streams a day. In the past 12 months, it has become Island Records’ biggest selling
single, having been streamed over a billion times so far.

Next year’s tour will celebrate Keane’s acclaimed body of work from their imperious
debut _Hopes and Fears_ to their 2019 studio album _Cause and Effect._

Lead singer **Tom Chaplin** says: _“I remember standing by that amazing old mixing
desk at Heliocentric Studios where we made _Hopes and Fears_, listening to an early
mix of ‘Somewhere Only We Know.’ I had this feeling that we’d come up with something
that had an extra bit of magic. Making music is so often a process full of doubt…
but on this occasion there was something undeniable about what we’d created. Clearly,
a lot of people felt the same when the album came out!”_

Founding band member and songwriter **Tim Rice-Oxley** said: _“When I think about
these songs, I still picture us playing them in little rooms in pubs around the 
UK. I remember how exciting it was watching the crowds start to grow. Those songs
opened the door to another dimension for us; everything that has happened in our
lives since then was born out of that moment. It’s an incredible privilege for us
that people are still listening after all this time.”_
