Snowstorm in Spring - Snow Patrol Announce Spring North American Headlining Tour 'Eyes Open' Out May 9

NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- There was a time when Snow Patrol were grateful to play to a crowd of 20 at a seedy strip club. Luckily, we don't have to take a group outing to Scores to check them out now: the quintet are platinum-selling, Michael Stipe-approved mega-rockers who'll be bringing the bold'n'beautiful tracks off of their fourth album Eyes Open to clubs without stripper poles in 19 U.S. and Canadian cities this May and June.

Frontman Gary Lightbody has told us that the band holed up in a place called Dingle (yes, really) and were "quite monastic" when recording Eyes Open with their longtime producer Garret Lee. The album that came from these austere conditions is anything but -- it's filled with hard-charging anthems, ridiculously gorgeous melodies, lush choruses, and an all-around keyed-up energy that's primed to explode live.

Come see one of this year's most beautifully exciting albums realized onstage! Come see "Run" performed live (you know you love it!). Come see a bunch of pale guys face the sunlight!
