News: Snow Patrol announce huge open-air show in London for 2026

Snow Patrol broke into the mainstream with their 2003 debut Final Straw, followed up with the multi-platinum success of 2006’s Eyes Open and continued with two more multi-platinum records, A Hundred Million Suns (2008) and Fallen Empires (2011). After a six-year hiatus, the band returned with the UK Top Ten album Wildness in 2018, and most recently released the Number One record The Forest Is The Path, last September.

Now comprising of Nathan Connolly, Gary Lightbody, and Johnny McDaid, the band wrapped up a hugely successful, sold-out tour of Europe, the UK and Ireland earlier this year before completing a packed summer of festival performances, including headline shows at Latitude and TRNSMT, plus an appearance at Glastonbury.

Snow Patrol’s newly announced Crystal Palace Park show will follow shortly after the twentieth anniversary of the band’s seminal record Eyes Open, which produced the ‘Most Played Track of the 21st Century’, ‘Chasing Cars’. Expect to hear other hit singles such as ‘Run’, ‘Open Your Eyes’ and ‘Just Say Yes’, as the band give fans a chance to witness their utterly magnetic and completely captivating live show in the capital during a milestone year.

Also joining Snow Patrol will be special guest Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, who took the world by storm with his powerful and bluesy vocals on his record-breaking 4x platinum debut album Human. The album, released in 2017, topped the charts around the world and became the fastest-selling (male) debut album of the decade. His most recent record What Do You Believe In? saw Rory Graham take his first step into a new bright and colourful era with a homage to his foundational love of hip-hop, and a love letter to the family he has built.

Plus taking to the stage at Crystal Palace Park will be indie pop newcomer Nieve Ella, who, in just two short years, has galvanised a legion of devout fans thanks to her wit and electrifying stage presence.

Crystal Palace Park is London’s original outdoor concert venue, with previous performers including The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley and Pink Floyd. In 2025 the park hosted sell-out shows from GRAMMY® Award-winning artists, Sacramento alt-metal band Deftones and scintillating Australian electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL. In 2026 Crystal Palace Park will once again showcase an array of exciting talent.
