Fans of Snow Patrol have reason to celebrate as the acclaimed Northern Irish band has announced a headline tour across the UK and Ireland for summer 2026. The tour promises a mix of festival dates and standalone shows, culminating in a huge headline performance at London’s Crystal Palace Park on July 3.
The band, known for hits like Chasing Cars, Run, and Open Your Eyes, will be joined by Rag ’N’ Bone Man and indie-pop rising star Nieve Ella at the London date, making it one of the most anticipated concerts of the summer.
Tickets for the tour go on artist pre-sale from 9am today, with general sale opening Friday, giving fans the perfect chance to secure their spots early.
The 2026 tour will see Snow Patrol perform at a variety of iconic venues, from open-air festivals to historic castle grounds:

The tour promises to combine classic hits and newer material, offering a live experience that both longtime fans and new listeners will enjoy.
Snow Patrol has consistently been a crowd favourite for nearly two decades, with their signature blend of anthemic rock and emotional ballads earning them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Commenting on the tour, lead singer Gary Lightbody said:
“We can’t wait to get back out on the road and play for our fans across the UK and Ireland. There’s nothing like the energy of a live show, and we’re especially excited about the London gig at Crystal Palace Park, it’s going to be a summer to remember.”
The tour is expected to sell out quickly, with fans encouraged to act fast during the pre-sale and general sale. Many venues, including historic locations like Edinburgh Castle and Ludlow Castle, offer a unique outdoor concert experience, adding to the allure of the 2026 dates.
Snow Patrol’s combination of emotional songwriting, massive choruses, and live performance energy has made them a staple of UK and Irish music festivals, and this tour is set to reinforce their reputation as one of the region’s most beloved bands.
