Snow Patrol have announced their eagerly awaited return with a brand new album. Titled The Forest Is The Path, the album is the Northern Irish band’s first in six years, following 2018’s Wildness, and is available now via Polydor Records. It was produced by Fraser T Smith (Adele/Dave/Stormzy) and the band. Now comprising the trio of Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid, Snow Patrol offer the first taste of their extraordinary new album with first single The Beginning, as well as announcing details of a UK in 2025.
The Beginning is the cornerstone of the band’s eighth studio album, written on a trip to Somerset. Gary picks up the story, “The first day we wrote The Beginning, start to finish.” “And he did the vocal in one take,” says Johnny. “Straight after writing the lyrics. So it has this mind-collapsing quality to it where you feel like you’re seeing into someone’s soul.”
Snow Patrol have announced details of a nine date UK and Ireland Arena tour in February 2025, including The O2 in London on February 15th
