KEO

In the organizer's words:
Some bands don't politely ask permission first, they just turn up, play their way into people's hearts and stay. The London alternative rock band Keo is no exception. With just one EP released, they have already earned rave reviews from Rolling Stone - an unmistakable sign that something big is growing up here. Keo was founded by brothers Finn (vocals) and Conor Keogh (bass). They were practically born into music: Their father is a traditional Irish folk musician, toured the world for years and took his children with him without further ado. The family later moved to Portugal, where they spent most of their youth. But by the age of 18, Finn knew that if he really wanted to make it with music, he had to get out of his comfort zone - to London. While studying at the London School of Music, he met drummer Oli Spackman and guitarist Jimmy Lanwern. Together with his brother Conor, the band was complete. And the timing could hardly have been better: After years of electronic dominance, guitar music was making a comeback in the UK - not least thanks to the return of Oasis. Keo fit perfectly into the vibrant London scene, but first had to fight for their place. Instead of releasing songs immediately, they opted for the hard way: for over two years, they played every show they could get - often to almost empty rooms. But word of their energy and dedication got around: even without a release, they ended up selling out 400-capacity halls in London. When their debut EP "Sirens" was finally released in March this year, the attention was correspondingly high. The five songs, mostly recorded live in a garage, are an honest portrait of growing up. Finn's raspy voice and lyrics - about perfectionism, break-ups and self-doubt - blend effortlessly with the perfectly imperfect mix of alternative, shoegaze and grunge that characterizes the band. After their first, completely sold-out UK tour, the next chapter is now imminent: Keo will embark on their first European tour in spring 2026! Three dates will also take them to Germany. If you want to see perhaps the most exciting newcomers on the British alternative scene live, you should get your tickets quickly.
