Northern Irish band Snow Patrol have confirmed a series of gigs next year, including a headliner in Belfast next summer.

The band have announced they will be performing at Belsonic on Saturday 21 June, 2025.

Snow Patrol originally formed as a student band in Dundee in the 1990s and went on to achieve global recognition.

The band recently released their eighth studio album, ‘The Forest Is The Path’ – their first in six years – which was written by remaining trio Nathan Connolly, Gary Lightbody, and Johnny McDaid and features twelve tracks.

New single ‘Everything’s Here And Nothing’s Lost’ is the second song the band penned for the album on a writing trip to Somerset.

“It was written on the second day there,” Lightbody said.

“The first day we wrote ‘The Beginning’ and the second day we wrote ‘Everything’s Here and Nothing Lost’ which are now the first and third singles from the album, so you could say it was a productive trip.”

Lightbody has called the new album “the biggest sounding record we have ever made”.

This year, Snow Patrol kicked off their return in the summer in Belgium before playing to 30,000 fans at a sold-out Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick.

They will return to play a nine-date sold out UK and Ireland arena tour in February, ahead of their outdoor summer shows in June.

Tickets for the gig at Belsonic go on sale on Friday at 10am via Ticketmaster.ie.
