It’s been nearly 20 years since ‘Chasing Cars’ hit our airwaves, changing the lives of Gen Xers mourning the end of Britpop forever. And a lot has happened to Snow Patrol since they shot to stardom in 2006. Singer Gary Lightbody has released songs on his own, as well as featuring on a track with Taylor Swift (who is currently embarking on a mammoth UK tour herself). He’s also now the only remaining member of the original Snow Patrol band.
The band’s last album was released six years ago (2018’s Wildness) but now they’ve announced a new one. Called The Forest is the Path, it’ll be out on September 13. To support the release of that record Snow Patrol are heading out on a UK tour.
Planning on catching Snow Patrol in the flesh? Here’s everything you need to know about the band’s 2025 UK tour.
When are Snow Patrol going on their UK tour 2025?
The band will be heading out next February, with their first spot in the UK being London. They’ll then hit eight major cities around the country as well as one date in Dublin before closing out with a homecoming for lead guitarist Nathan Connolly in Belfast. Here are the exact dates for the February 2025 The Forest is the Path tour.
- February 15 – London, O2
- February 16 – Birmingham, Resorts World Arena
- February 18 – Cardiff, Utilita Arena
- February 19 – Hull, Connexin Live

When do tickets go on sale?
The general sale for tickets will go on sale from June 7 at 10am. You’ll be able to buy them from Ticketmaster here, or from Gigs and Tours (for Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Hull) here. Keep an eye on StubHub, too.
If you're desperate for good seats, make sure to be online and logged in before 10am, and also have your payment method pre-loaded onto your account.
Is there a presale?
Yep. In order to qualify for presale you have to have pre-ordered The Forest is the Path from the band's own website here. But don’t fret just yet, O wise noughties rock fan! You have until 5pm next Tuesday (June 4).
Once you’ve purchased the record you’ll get a special code which will let you into presale the next day. You’ll be able to access presale from the same vendors as the general sale, and it will be active from 10am on June 5 until 9am on June 7.
How much are Snow Patrol tickets?
According to the OVO Hydro, the venue for the Glasgow dates, tickets will range between £46.50 and £96.90. Based on other similar concerts, standing tickets will probably be on the lower end of the scale and vice versa for seated ones. Prices may vary slightly between venues, but this is a pretty good rough guide.
