SECC, the 02, now thats what I call ambitious, the atmosphere will be like the wake of an un-loved shrew.

I agree, Soundedd. Birmingham is shit, just like Keane, i thought it only made sense to play there. High hopes obviously....

Yeah lhn91 good. These people listen to pretencious nobs like Kings Of Leon and Elbow. Keane are a quality band. Doherty the reason i like them is because there not "heavy rockers" like fucking awful bands like Metallica. Pete Doherty and Babyshames are twats by the way. Albion, don't diss brum, are you from West Bromwich? You ain't got a pot to piss in, Perfect Symmetry coming soon.

Saw Keane at NEC last year, was just so special, have been waiting for next one. Now they're not doing Birmingham or Wolverhampton so really disappointed.

if seein Keane live is your idea of a "quality live band" then you wanna get down my local where Uncle Albert will have a few navy rums and a sit round the piano tinkling the ivorys.. he does requests... won't play keane though says there shit.. i have seen them live.......i had to be talked down off the roof.
