Snow Patrol have announced a UK and Ireland headline tour for summer 2026, including a huge show at London’s Crystal Palace Park.
The Northern Irish band will top the bill at the London venue on July 3, with support on the day to come from Rag ’N’ Bone Man and indie pop singer Nieve Ella.
Elsewhere, they will also headline the In It Together Festival in Port Talbot on May 25 and Nottingham’s Splendour Festival on July 19, as well as play solo shows in Dublin, East Anglia, Liverpool, Shropshire and Edinburgh.
Tickets are available on an artist pre-sale from 9am on Wednesday (October 8), and they go on general sale at the same time on Friday (October 10). You will be able to find yours here.

Snow Patrol released their eighth studio album ‘The Forest Is The Path’ last year, their first record in six years. Produced by Fraser T Smith, it also featured writing credits from Troy Van Leeuwen from Queens Of The Stone Age.
In 2023, the band announced that bassist Paul Wilson and drummer Jonny Quinn had “decided to leave Snow Patrol”, while guitarist Nathan Connolly launched a solo career with his debut album ‘The Strange Order Of Things’.
Elsewhere, Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody was among those to back an open letter written by Ed Sheeran which called on the UK government to implement immediate and long-term funding for music education.
The initiative highlighted five areas that the government can focus on to improve standards: music funding in schools, training for music teachers, funding for grassroots venues and spaces, music apprenticeships and a diverse music curriculum.
