Keo have announced an extensive 2027 tour across the UK, Europe and North America as their debut album begins to outrun the rooms that introduced them.
The London four-piece will take Put A Smile On For Me on the road next year, expanding a schedule that already includes a sold-out performance at O2 Academy Brixton on March 12.
The tour begins in the UK before moving through mainland Europe and into a North American run. General tickets go on sale at 10am local time on Friday, October 9, following the band’s presale.
The new dates arrive shortly after Put A Smile On For Me reached number two on the UK albums chart and topped several specialist listings. That result gives the tour a different weight from the usual debut-album lap, particularly with Brixton already sold out months in advance.
Keo are built around Finn Keogh, Conor McLoughlin, Oscar Paterson and Jimmy Lanwern. Their songs sit between the bruised dynamics of 1990s alternative rock and the more immediate scale expected of a modern British guitar band, without shrinking either side into revivalism.
The band had previously described Brixton as a defining venue, the sort of room that separates early momentum from a career capable of holding a much larger crowd. Selling it out before the wider tour announcement gives them an answer earlier than expected.
The international stretch also follows a period in which young UK guitar bands have had to build audiences city by city rather than rely on a single domestic breakthrough. A North American leg this early suggests Keo’s team believes the album has travelled beyond its chart position.
BLUNT recently covered the huge Primavera Sound 2027 line-up, which captures the festival end of the coming year. Keo’s announcement is the other side of that live cycle: a new band testing how far its own name can carry an evening.
Support details and local ticket links vary across the itinerary. The full schedule is available through the band’s official channels ahead of Friday’s general sale.
