KEANE lead singer Tom Chaplin will play York Barbican on May 12 next year on his 14-date British and Irish tour.

Tom is currently on an intimate sold out tour across the UK and with new album ‘The Wave’ debuting at three in the UK Album Chart.

Written by Tom, produced by Matt Hales (Aqualung, Lianne La Havas) and driven by his unmistakeable voice, ‘The Wave’ is a powerful album that has had the critics raving.

As seen on BBC2’s Later with Jools Holland, Chaplin and his band – Sebastian Sternberg, Rosie Langley, Tobie Tripp and Beau Holland – will swap instruments to re-create the songs’ lush sound and poignant atmosphere in concert.

Tickets are on sale from yorkbarbican.co.uk, seetickets.com and ticketmaster.co.uk and on 0844 854 2757.
