Snow Patrol returns to tour North America after five-year gap

Snow Patrol's first North American tour since 2019 will start in March. Fans can register for artist presale access by signing up for the band’s mailing list on their website. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10am local time. See below for the full list of dates or visit the band’s official website for more details.

“We’re so excited to get back to tour in North America again! For the first ten years of our career, we didn’t get to play in the US or Canada and even though, now, we have been touring there for twenty years we still feel like we’re making up for lost time. We grew up listening to so much music from the US and Canada so we feel like it’s in our blood. We can’t wait to come back again next year and discover more of the continent and have new adventures with a brand-new album” – Gary Lightbody

On September 13, the band released their new album The Forest Is The Path featuring the new single “Everything’s Here And Nothing’s Lost.” The album landed at #1 on the U.K. Official Charts. They previously held the #1 spot with Eyes Open (2006).

The Forest is the Path is the Northern Irish band’s eighth studio album and marks their return following 2018’s Wildness. It is produced by Fraser T Smith (Adele) and the band. Now comprising the trio of Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid, Snow Patrol previously offered the singles “The Beginning,” “This Is The Sound Of Your Voice” and “All.”

Co-written by Nathan Connolly, Gary Lightbody and Johnny McDaid, the album features contributions from Fraser T Smith, Will Reynolds, Roy Kerr and Troy Van Leeuwen (QOTSA). Artwork for the album and single are paintings by the band’s Lightbody. The frontman calls the album “the biggest sounding record we have ever made.” 

Snow Patrol kicked off their return in the summer with a performance at Rock Werchter in Belgium before playing to 30,000 fans at a sold-out Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick.
