Keane have announced details of a last minute UK tour which will support the release of their new album.

The three date tour, which is free, begins in Edinburgh on October 13th before calling in Leeds (October 14th) and London (October 15th).

In a statement, frontman Tom Chaplin said: "We decided last night that we want to get out there next week and play our new songs to our fans in an intimate environment.

“We love playing live, we love the intensity of the atmosphere in those clubs, you just can't capture that in an Arena or Festival.

“We want to do it like we used to. It is going to be amazing fun."

Tickets for the three shows are on sale now and available via the band's website.

Keane's free UK tour dates are:

• Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms – October 13
• Leeds, Cockpit 2 – 12
• London, 100 Club - 15
