Keanan Eksteen and his band are a vibrant rock and roll group from Cape Town, South Africa. With their energetic performances and compelling stage presence, they’ve been steadily making their mark, both locally and in Europe, blending classic and modern rock influences into a style that’s distinctly their own.
Since forming in 2021, the band has been carving out a space in the rock scene, crafting music that pays homage to legendary rock sounds while adding a contemporary edge. Their passion for what they do is evident in every performance and every song they produce, resonating with fans across generations.
In just over two years, Keanan and the band have achieved impressive milestones, including three European tours. The first, a solo acoustic tour, introduced Keanan’s talent to intimate audiences across iconic cities. The second, with the full band, saw them performing to increasingly larger crowds. Their most recent tour included a co-headlining performance alongside Grammy winners Arrested Development at Sommer in Der Stad, marking their biggest show to date.
