Snow Patrol remain one of the most beloved alternative rock bands to emerge from the UK and Ireland in the past three decades. Known for global hits such as Chasing Cars, Run and Just Say Yes, their music has soundtracked countless personal moments for fans worldwide. With a new album released in 2025 and a North American tour announced, speculation is growing: will Snow Patrol extend their live comeback into 2026?

Why this matters to fans

Live music has always been central to Snow Patrol’s connection with their audience. Their concerts are known for soaring singalongs, emotional intimacy, and a mix of chart-topping anthems and deep cuts for long-time followers. After years of limited touring activity, their return has reignited excitement. Many fans are now asking whether more international dates — especially across the UK and Europe — could follow in 2026.

Snow Patrol’s recent touring history

  • 2019 – The band toured extensively in support of their Wildness album, playing arenas and festivals.
  • 2020–2023 – With the pandemic and other commitments, Snow Patrol’s live presence was minimal.
  • 2025 – Their comeback began with new music and a major run of shows across the UK, Ireland, Europe and North America, marking their most ambitious tour in years.

This recent activity suggests that Snow Patrol are open to performing more regularly again, fueling speculation that further dates could be on the horizon.

What fans are hoping for in 2026

Snow Patrol fans are vocal online about their wish list for potential 2026 shows. Some of the most common hopes include:

  • Return to major UK & Ireland venues – Demand for more homecoming shows in Belfast, Glasgow, Dublin, and London remains high.
  • European festivals – Snow Patrol have a history of strong festival appearances and could return to major events like Glastonbury or Rock Werchter.
  • Expanded setlists – With a new album out, fans are eager to hear fresh material alongside classics.
  • Special anniversary shows – 2026 will mark 20 years since Eyes Open, the album that propelled them to global stardom. Many fans are hopeful for anniversary performances.

The likelihood of a 2026 tour

At present, there has been no official confirmation of a 2026 tour. However, bands often plan tours around new releases, and with Snow Patrol actively touring again in 2025, it is not unreasonable to think further shows could follow. If their current tour is successful, an extension into 2026 — including UK, European and festival dates — is a strong possibility.
