Keane is celebrating the release of their first studio album since 2012's Strangeland, Cause and Effect dropped September 20 with the guys launching a series of live dates right after on September 24. While Keane has been playing festivals and shows left and right in 2019, they recently launched a series of live dates post album release that plays out with a setlist heavy on Cause and Effect material.
With Cause and Effect hailing 13 new songs, including two bonus tracks, one can imagine the difficulty at task when putting together a setlist post album release!
