Comments on Keane
I'm 55 and think Keane are sensational, the singer has a lovely voice and I look forward to hearing the coverage at Glasto-go for it boys
Adele from France

Dan Cardiff,Dan Swindon and Dirty Dave,i appreciate every1 has an opinion but with respect lads urs is B@llocks!! KEANE are more than wothy of any billing the awards speak for themselves!! U2 and Oasis are massive bands and all of there songs soun the same but nobody slags them off!! Keane used to have a guitarist if you check you facts MR JIMLL but have proved that they are more than capable without..for all the doubters out there go and see them live THEY ARE AWESOME.
Rich Selby
Keane are awesome!!!!!!! Fab band!!!
Pete from Derby
They might not be trendy, but in terms of songwriting, Keane are the best new band for 25 years and will still be listened to in 50 years, even if they never produce another album. I saw them in a smaller venue last year and it was awesome, I have a feeling though, that they struggle to transfer that to the big stage...at the moment...
Martin, Northants
keane are amaaaazing tom's voice is top notch!! saw them at manchester apollo and loved them! I wasn't sure about a band with no guitar but they rocked!!!!
Leeds
Opinion split right down the middle! It's lucky Keane couldn't accept Michael Eavis's supposed invitation to headline the Sunday night after Kylie droppped out!
Garry, Merseyside
Can't wait to see Keane on tv playing at Glasto.. hopefully next year they will be headlining the Isle of Wight Fest
Aimee, IOW
FAB, FAB, FAB, FAB,
Best new group of the'00's!
Barbara - Shropshire
I love Keane. They are absolutely brilliant. Best band in the world. and I really love Tom Chaplin. He is the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen!
Lori, Glasgow
Keane are fantastic!!! Saw them at V2004 and they were just incredible!
nick, stafford
I am disapointed that Snoop Dogg does not know half the bands appearing at glasto; you think someone who buys tickets for such an extravaganza would have some knowledge of music. Obviously you don't, Keane may be a good band but there are indeed many other up and coming bands that will be awesome to watch. British Sea Power will be one of them. On a different note; Snoop Dogg sort out your grammar! You have capital letters all over the shop, commas in unnecessary places and sort out your apostrophes!
Eric - Wrexham
I've seen Keane at Glasto last year and it was just amazing... Keane played the rainclouds disappeared. But the weather will obviously be better this year! Enjoy the gig!!
Annika from Germany
keane are the best, they deserve to be top of the bill! They were fantastic at Glastonbury last year, can't wait to see them again!
dixie CARDIFF
I think they are truly fantastic. What do you mean Tom Caplin looks like he needs his mum? I think you mean he simply doesn't look like a thug.
Nick, Bristol
Keane rock! They have changed my life over the last few months, an album to definately NOT be without. The best new music to come out of 2004. Not only will I be watching them at Glastonbury but also at the O2 festival in Hyde Park
Dawn, Wincanton
I love keane, they were amazing last year, can't wait to see them play again, wow!!! They should be on first!!
dixie
The awards and reviews that Keane have received over the last 18 months speak for themselves. They are British, write all their own songs and don't have to rely on hype and sensation to sell records.
They just let their music do the talking.
Mark Smith, Bristol
*sigh* i DO love LOTS of the bands playing at Glasto this year -- I just haven't heard of half of them! lol.....Keane ARE the best band in the WORLD, in my opinion, but the Killers will rock, too!!! I picked the name Snoop Dogg 'cause he was on TV when I typed my first comment...I think the name's cool, but Snoop creeps me out....that Dogg should be put down!!! LOL!!!
Snoop Dogg
How can it be claimed that Keane are the best band in the world when they don't have a guitarist......?
Jimll, Darlington
Keane are the dictionary definition of incredible! Hopes and Fears can move you to the point of tears but paradoxically can be amazingly uplifting too! I love it!
Kirsty, Bournemouth.
I don't get it either? I'm obviously in the minority but I think there are much better bands out there.
Kez F - Brighton
Snoop Dogg! Lol! I've seen Keane live more than once and believe me I've never intended to go and see them, they just always happen to turn up. And if you consider the rest of the acts no-hopers you're clearly lost and have very little knowledge of any of the bands on the other stages! If the times work out well I'll be definately seeing The Go! Team over Keane, but with a name like Snoop Dogg I don't think you'll be experiencing the real gems of the festival.
Dirty Dave
What are you on about??? Keane are not worthy of their slot. Why not give it to The Arcade Fire??????? Now there's an exciting band guranteed to make an impact given the pyramid stage to play with.
Dan, Cardiff
keane are the best. clearly the best album i bought last year, and bedshaped is just gonna rock the stage. cannot wait. they will be oneb of the highlights of glasto for years to come!!!!!!!!
Steve d - lincoln
They will give us this stuff to watch
steve...tranmere
The songs all do sound a bit samey but they're still pretty good
Ginny - Dorset
Keane are absolutely awsome live and well worthy of 1st, 2nd or 3rd on the bill !!
Nicky, Bucks
I bet you are both the same person! You're right, they shouldn't be third on the list - they should be FIRST!!! Perhaps you'll change your mind when you see them live, because they're better than the rest of the no-hopers playing.
Snoop Dogg
Forget Coldplay, I think Keane are the best band in the world - I truely mean that.
James Pugh, Caldicot
I love Keane!!!
Hamish, Chepstow
They came and played an acoustic gig at our university and I thought they were great! Every track was beautiful and I nearly cried during 'Everybody's Changing'. Can't wait to see them again at glasto.
Dan, Worcester
I dunno either! It seems ludicrous. Every track is the same, and the lead singer looks like he needs his mum.
Dan - Swindon
how are keane worthy of 3rd on the bill on the pyramid stage on saturday - it does not make any sense. Someone please explain
Dan, Cardiff
