From first entering the venue at the O2, there was an undeniable excitement and giddy anticipation from Keo fans at seeing the boys back on stage and hearing tracks off the their new album “Put a Smile on for Me” live for the very first time.
As the crowd built at the barrier and beyond for supporting act “Brooki”, the band easily dominated the warm-up slot with hits such as “ 16” and “Little Portland Street”. Despite having no official music released yet, the crowd was familiar with the songs and embraced the Irish indie/rock band with open arms.
As the band wrapped their set, the crowd started shuffling forward excitedly with loud chants of kee-oh kee-oh echoing round the room.
Then it was time.

The lights went dark, and the band ran onto the stage, opening with the massive hit “Be Happy”. The crowd erupted, and Keo fans showed us why they are labelled one of the most energetic crowds around.
With hits like “Pistol”, “That’s me” and pre-album cut “ I Lied Amber”, they kept the crowds energy pumping as the realisation hit... rock is back! And in very capable hands.
As the night closed... a beautiful cover of the Doors' “The End” was played and it was hauntingly good. 2027 gears up to be the band's most successful on the back of their hugely successful album release and headline tour next spring.
We’ve got a feeling the venues are going to get bigger and bigger.
