About Corona Capital Sessions Guadalajara - Keane, Phoenix & The Lumineers

Keane, hailing from Battle, East Sussex, have carved a significant niche in the global music landscape with their distinctive piano-driven alternative rock. Formed in 1995, the band – comprising Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley, Jesse Quin, and Richard Hughes – rose to prominence in the early 2000s with a sound that eschewed guitars in favour of rich, layered synthesizers and Chaplin’s distinctive, impassioned vocals. Their debut album, Hopes and Fears (2004), was a global phenomenon, spawning enduring hits like “Somewhere Only We Know,” a timeless ballad that has resonated with millions, and the soaring “Everybody’s Changing.” Their subsequent albums, including Under the Iron Sea (2006) and Perfect Symmetry (2009), further solidified their reputation for crafting anthemic, emotionally resonant tracks. Hits such as “Is It Any Wonder?” and “Silenced By The Night” showcase their ability to blend introspection with stadium-filling choruses. Keane’s music often explores themes of hope, loss, and resilience, delivered with a sincerity that has garnered them a devoted international fanbase. Their live performances are renowned for their powerful energy and the collective singing along of thousands of fans to their most cherished anthems.

Phoenix, the effortlessly cool quartet from Versailles, France, have consistently delivered sophisticated, danceable indie-pop since their formation in 1999. Comprising Thomas Mars, Deck d’Arcy, Christian Mazzalai, and Laurent Brancowitz, the band is celebrated for its infectious melodies, sleek production, and undeniable charisma. They burst onto the international scene with their critically acclaimed album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (2009), which featured the ubiquitous hit “1901,” a track that became an anthem for a generation, and the equally captivating “Lisztomania.” Their music is a masterful blend of synth-pop, new wave, and classic rock influences, creating a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. Earlier hits like “If I Ever Feel Better” from their album Alphabetical (2000) hinted at their sophisticated pop sensibilities, while tracks such as “Trying To Be Cool” and “Entertainment” from subsequent releases demonstrated their continued evolution and ability to craft undeniably catchy tunes. Phoenix’s live shows are a testament to their electrifying stage presence, a vibrant spectacle of tight musicianship and Thomas Mars’s energetic vocal performances, often engaging directly with the audience.

The Lumineers, the Grammy-nominated American folk-rock band, have captivated audiences worldwide with their earnest songwriting and intimate, singalong-friendly anthems. Formed in 2005 by lead vocalist and guitarist Wesley Schultz and drummer Jeremiah Fraites, the band is celebrated for its ability to evoke profound emotion through stripped-back instrumentation and heartfelt narratives. Their self-titled debut album, The Lumineers (2012), was a breakout success, propelled by the multi-platinum hit “Ho Hey,” a song that became a global phenomenon for its infectious chorus and relatable sentiment. This was followed by the equally popular “Stubborn Love.” Their subsequent albums, including Cleopatra (2016) and III (2019), have continued to explore themes of love, loss, family, and the human condition, earning them widespread critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Tracks like “Ophelia” and “Gloria” showcase their knack for crafting powerful, emotionally resonant storytelling. The Lumineers’ live performances are an experience in themselves, characterised by a raw authenticity, the passionate delivery of their lyrics, and a profound connection with their audience, often culminating in communal singalongs that underscore the universal appeal of their music.
