Set to start at 9.30pm, the band came to stage a little after.
With some fans outside since midday, they kept an incredible energy, full of Latin spirit - according to the singer - through the entire performance.
The audience was able to stay very very close the stage, turning this showcase into something really special.
On an acoustic shorter performance, the setlist started with half the band on stage - Tom Chaplin (singer) and Tim Rice-Oxley (keyboardist and main songwriter) playing the "old" classic This Is The Last Time.

I must state how incredible the audience was, full of energy and according with the singer with an amazing "latin spirit" - commenting about the seriousness of the French people - where they performed the day before this showcase - that Tom described as "very chique and more calm" complementing the beautiful city that they love to return to and complementing the fans.
After a very loud and strong version, Richard Hughes (drums/percussion) and Jesse Quin (acoustic guitar/keyboards) joined the half of the group on stage.

The small but composed audience proved to know all the words not only from the old hits but also from the new and fresh Disconnected.
The Portuguese fans didn't disappoint at all, singing with the band another classic - Everybody's Changing, welcoming Keane, once again, with pride and joy.
It was clear along the night that Keane were really happy to return to this country, with the fans showing how loved and respected they are.
It was a showcase where they gave their everything (although Tim Rice-Oxley was a bit sick).
Revealing to be one of Tom's favorites, Sovereigh Light Café is a song about the band's longtime friendship and their hopes and dreams for the future, when they were teenagers.
Another song that people proved to know!
After, there was time to recover an Under The Iron Sea hit - Is It Any Wonder?, where Keane showed how a rock band can be incredible on an intimate gig.
Tom Chaplin asked the audience about their favorite songs from their Strangeland - after several answers, he was expecting people to guess that the next song on the setlist was the beautiful The Starting Line.
Back to Hopes And Fears, Keane performed a beautiful acoustic version of the energetic Bend And Break. The first single from Strangeland is Silenced By The Night, a song with a powerful message that became one of the many highlights of the night.
Richard Hughes surprisingly left the stage with his camera and joined the audience, taking pictures of his band mates and talking with fans around him.
As soon as Sea Fog started, everything and everyone came quiet enjoying this master piece written by Tim Rice-Oxley, one of the best songwriters of his generation.
Returning to stage, Richard (re-) joined the band to play the last song of the night - Bedshaped - ending an amazing night where Keane proved that when someone is talented enough it doesn't matter how or where they show it, also proving that you don't need to have a regular show, with the regular instruments on the regular places to give their everything on stage.
And those people who were lucky enough to see the showcase really had a full night.
Tom Chaplin also confirmed another date in October - besides the already known gig in Cascais Music Festival on July 16.
All fans really appreciate it.
Rating: 5/5
