The tour follows what has been a stellar first week for their debut album

Just two weeks after releasing their debut album, ‘Put A Smile On For Me’, the world around rising London four-piece Keo continues to grow rapidly.

The London four-piece have just announced their 2027 ‘Put A Smile On For Me’ headline tour across the UK, Europe, and North America from February to May. The run begins at O2 Academy Leeds on February 19, 2027 and includes stops at Sheffield’s the Octagon Centre, Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, O2 Academy Birmingham, Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, and a sold-out O2 Academy Brixton, before finishing at LA’s Troubadour on 20th May.

The Sheffield show was announced following the news that Keo had become the first UK band in over two years to surpass 20,000 week-one sales with a debut album.placeholder image

The tour follows what has been a stellar first week for their debut album, Put A Smile On For Me, which entered the UK Official Albums Chart at #2 and topped both the Physical and Vinyl charts. Keo are the first UK band in over two years to top 20,000 week-one debut album sales. It has been quite the impressive period.

Driven by word-of-mouth and relentless touring rather than social media, the band have rapidly built a passionate audience. Their upcoming October UK headline tour sold over 9,000 tickets in 24 hours, and O2 Academy Brixton sold out before the debut album was even released. As they move into larger venues, that core connection with fans remains at the heart of everything they do.

Critical acclaim has matched the commercial momentum. Kerrang! hailed Put A Smile On For Me as an “exceptional debut album”, while Rolling Stone UK noted that “as far as debut albums go, it’s mission accomplished and then some.”

Between a Main Stage performance at Reading & Leeds, sharing stages with Wolf Alice, a fully sold-out headlining run, and a #2 record, Keo have spent the past twelve months transforming from a promising prospect into a powerful force in British guitar music.

Keo will be performing at The Octagon Centre in Sheffield on March 5, 2027.

Pre-sale tickets went on sale on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.

General sale tickets go on sale on Friday, October 9, 2026 at 10am, via Ticketmaster.
