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.
