Keane's website and MySpace page have an announcement about a short US tour next month.

Hello!

Some exciting news for those of you who live in the US of A - Keane have (or 'has' as you folks would say) confirmed some American dates! They're next month! And you can buy the very best tickets through our exclusive presale! Tomorrow!

We'll be selling the presale tickets through Keane's online shop, Rag And Bone, for all shows except San Francisco, where the venue have arranged their own presale. For seated gigs, the presale will enable you to buy the best available seats. For standing shows, Rag And Bone will be attempting to arrange wristbands that allow you early entry into the venue so that you can get the best possible view.

The info is as follows...

June 20 - San Francisco, Great American Music Hall. Presale from 10am on May 16 from www.virtuous.com. Full onsale from 10am on May 21 from www.tickets.com

June 21 - Los Angeles, Henry Fonda Theatre. Presale from 10am on May 16 through www.rag-and-bone-com. Full onsale from 10am on May 20 from www.ticketweb.com
