Snow Patrol will end the old year and ring in the new with UK and Ireland arena shows.
December gigs in Newcastle, Belfast and Dublin will bring 2018 to close for the band after their return with Wildness. “There are many types of wildness, but I think it can be distilled into two: the wildness of the modern age, all it’s confusion, illogic and alienation and a more ancient wildness,” frontman Gary Lightbody has said.
“Something primal, alive and beautiful that speaks to our true connectivity, our passion, our love, our communion with nature and each other. This is the kind of wildness the album is centered around. The loss of it. Trying to reconnect with it. To remember it.”
And they’ll be up and running again towards the end of January 2019, when more arena shows are booked in Birmingham, London, Leeds, Manchester and Glasgow.
