Posted cryptic images hinting at return

Toward the end of 2018, Keane posted a series of cryptic images onto their various social media accounts, hinting that the quartet were in the studio working on material. On 17 January 2019, an article from The Sun revealed that the band are planning “to make a comeback after six years away” and that a “source close to the rockers has revealed the band is ready to work together again after ‘putting their differences to one side’”. On 6 February, Keane posted an image of them on their various social media accounts. This was followed by several announcements on their Instagram and Facebook sites of various festivals in which the band would perform, including Cornbury Music Festival (6 July 2019), 4ever Valencia Fest in Spain (21 July 2019), MEO Marés Vivas in Portugal (19 July 2019), Noches del Botánico in Madrid (20 July 2019), and Hello Festival in The Netherlands (9 June). On 15 March 2019, Keane performed their song ” Somewhere Only We Know ” on Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day on BBC One with London Contemporary Voices. On 26 March 2019, Keane posted “We’ve been desperate to tell you that we’re busy making another album, which we’ll be releasing later this year” to their Facebook page.
