Keo announce 2027 UK, European and North American tour

Keo have announced a UK, European and North American headline tour for 2027. Find all the details below.

The London alt-rock band will head out on the road early next year in support of their UK Number Two debut album, ‘Put A Smile On For Me’, which was released last month.

Kicking off in Leeds on February 19, the forthcoming trek also includes stops in Nottingham, Portsmouth, Bristol, Birmingham, Norwich, Glasgow, Sheffield and Newcastle throughout the rest of the month and into March.

From there, Keo will head to London for their previously-confirmed sold-out show at the O2 Academy Brixton on March 12. Two new Irish dates are due to follow Belfast (March 15) and Dublin (16).

The group’s European leg kicks off in April with performances in Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Berlin and numerous other cities.

Later in the spring, they’ll embark on a run of concerts in the US and Canada. This includes appearances in Washington, DC, Boston, New York, Toronto, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time this Friday (October 9) – buy yours here (UK and Europe) and here (North America). Alternatively, fans can access an artist pre-sale at the same time on Wednesday (October 7).

Keo played on the main stage at this year’s Reading & Leeds in August. Speaking to NME at Reading, brothers Finn and Conor Keogh opened up about what to expect from ‘Put A Smile On For Me’.

“It’s not perfect – at all – but I like the edge it has,” Finn told us. “We definitely obsessed over not giving it much production. That was kind of the idea of the production around the record. We would really debate whether one harmony should be on it.

“Our friend Harry Jordan just basically captured us in a big room, and we had the amps bleeding into the drum mics. It was mostly a live vocal, as well.”

He added: “We have cut our teeth through live music and have built a fanbase through live music, so why not make a live record? I think people need that right now.” Watch the video interview in full above.

Meanwhile, Keo are set to appear at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival next week, ahead of some shows in Southampton, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool and London.
