| Performance Notes | Snow Patrol return to the Royal Albert Hall for two special nights this winter. The band first took to the Auditorium stage ten years ago almost to the day, back in 2009, before their extended six-year hiatus. This time around, the band will play re-imagined versions of tracks from their catalogue, as well as new songs from their forthcoming Reworked album.
The Scottish-Irish alt-rock outfit broke into the mainstream in 2003 with debut album Final Straw, but its their sophomore effort, 2006s Eyes Open, which featured Chasing Cars, the most widely played song of the 21st century on UK radio, that propelled the band to greater international fame.
The actress Courteney Cox showed off her piano skills on stage with her boyfriend, Snow Patrol bass-guitarist Johnny McDaid, during rehearsals earlier that day at the Hall. The moment was filmed and later played during the show on video. |
