Northern Irish-Scottish rockers Snow Patrol – fronted by Gary Lightbody with longtime members Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid – have been shaping the sound of alternative rock for more than 20 years.
With iconic tracks like Chasing Cars, Run, and Open Your Eyes, their emotionally charged anthems continue to resonate with fans worldwide, solidifying their place as one of the most influential bands in modern rock.
The band recently celebrated a major milestone with their first Number 1 album in 18 years. The Forest Is The Path marks the rock band’s triumphant return to the top of the charts, following the massive success of Eyes Open in 2006.
Featuring 12 tracks and artwork created by founding member Gary Lightbody, their latest album is a journey of contrasts – epically joyous, life-affirming and huge – with Lightbody describing it as 'the biggest sounding record we have ever made.”
With eight studio albums, including the multi-platinum Eyes Open, Snow Patrol have sold more than 16 million records worldwide. Their legacy is further solidified by numerous accolades including seven Meteor Ireland Music Awards, six BRIT Award nominations and a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Song. With a career spanning more than two decades, fans in Scarborough can expect a night filled with timeless hits and the very best of modern rock.
Scarborough OAT venue programmer Julian Murray, of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to announce that Snow Patrol will be heading to Scarborough later this year. With their incredible catalogue of hits and raw, emotional performances, it’s going to be a magical night for fans in one of the most stunning outdoor venues in the UK. It's definitely going to be one of the highlights of the summer.”
