Snow Patrol - the Northern Irish alt-rock icons who first stormed into the mainstream with 2003’s Final Straw - have announced details of their next huge London show. Following the multi-platinum success of Eyes Open (2006), A Hundred Million Suns (2008), and Fallen Empires (2011), the band returned from a six-year hiatus with 2018’s UK Top Ten album Wildness, before scoring a Number One with The Forest Is The Path last September.
Now comprised of Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly, and Johnny McDaid, Snow Patrol recently completed a triumphant, sold-out tour across Europe, the UK, and Ireland, followed by a packed summer of festival appearances, including headline sets at Latitude and TRNSMT, plus a standout performance at Glastonbury.
Their newly announced Crystal Palace Park show arrives shortly after the twentieth anniversary of their seminal record Eyes Open, which gave the world ‘Chasing Cars’, officially the Most Played Track of the 21st Century. Fans can also expect to hear other classics such as ‘Run’, ‘Open Your Eyes’, and ‘Just Say Yes’ as the band deliver their powerful, emotionally charged live performance in the capital during a milestone year.
Joining them will be special guest Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, whose chart-topping, 4x platinum debut Human (2017) cemented his place as one of the UK’s most distinctive voices. His latest album, What Do You Believe In?, marks a vibrant new chapter, blending hip-hop influences with heartfelt reflections on family and self-discovery.
Also taking the stage is rising indie-pop star Nieve Ella, who has quickly built a passionate fanbase through her sharp lyricism and magnetic live energy.
Set in London’s original outdoor concert venue, Crystal Palace Park, which has previously hosted legendary performances from The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, and Pink Floyd, the 2026 season promises another year of spectacular live music. Following 2025’s sell-out shows from Deftones and RÜFÜS DU SOL, Snow Patrol’s return will be one of the standout moments in the park’s storied history.
