In 2004, Keane released a hit that would swell with such nostalgia that it’s now chanted like a national anthem at every festival they grace. Like Oasis’ “Live Forever,” Keane’s legendary single, “Somewhere Only We Know” has built up every sign of being a modern classic; every melody an instant flashback for anyone who survived the ‘00s indie-pop scene, with lyrics depicting an ever-relatable story of aging and escapism.

Taking their hit to the Pyramid Stage of Glastonbury 2024, Keane’s stunning performance before a vast, chanting crowd proves it’s still possible for pop songs to age like fine wine, especially if plucked from what some would call the last golden age of Britpop.

Crowds sang back Keane’s lyrics like they were gospel. “I’m getting old and I need something to rely on” lost its bittersweet tinge when chanted by thousands upon thousands of spectators united by their deathless love for music, and the first chorus was so spectacular, Keane handed the mic to the Glastonbury choir to take on the second chorus alone.

Singer, Tom Chaplin (aged 45), boasts a voice which hasn’t aged a day but has only gotten better with time. Alongside drummer Richard Hughes (48), keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley (48), and bassist Jesse Quin (42), Keane’s original 2004 lineup remains intact, stronger and more passionate than ever.
