New Keane tickets sell out in less than 90 minutes

Extra Keane tickets were released on Saturday morning (January 21st) but sold out in less than 90 minutes.

At 10:02 GMT, a message was posted on the band's website to state that a second pre-album gig would be performed in Bexhill-On-Sea.

The group had already sold out a show scheduled for March 9th in the east Surrey town's De La Warr Pavilion.

However, the second gig planned for March 10th meant extra passes were released and it seems many fans were waiting for the chance to buy them, as all the tickets were gone by 11:22 GMT.

"We've just had official confirmation that both shows are now fully sold out. Big thanks to all of you who bought tickets - and apologies to anyone who missed out," said a statement on the band's website.

A full Keane tour has not yet been announced, but with a new album coming out it is likely the boys will put together a schedule of gigs to promote it.

In a post on the group's website, bassist Jesse Quin recently said he thought the new record sounded "awesome".
