Snow Patrol's Eyes Open Certified Platinum

Band Announces North American Summer Tour

NEW YORK, June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Sometimes the biggest bands in the world don't have to brag or posture. They just do the quiet work of honest musicians, traversing the globe and converting every last one of us, one show at a time.

As unassuming and truthful as their music, Snow Patrol has quietly become a genuine global act this past year. Eyes Open, recently certified platinum in the United States (over one million sold), and has now sold 4 million copies worldwide.

"Chasing Cars" is one of those classic songs that won't go away -- for every new fan there's an old one craving to hear it again and again. "Signal Fire" from Spider-Man 3 continues to make its way to the far reaches of earth as the film breaks box office records in multiple countries.

Add that to the band's upcoming appearance in front of an estimated television audience of 2 billion at "Live Earth" and you can officially add Snow Patrol to that ever-shortening list of world's biggest bands.

Supported this summer by Hot Hot Heat, Gary Lightbody and company will continue on their ascent, featuring two nights at the famed Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, a performance at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, a stop in Chicago at this year's Lollapalooza festival and more.

Like some Irish pied piper, the longer they march, the larger the flock. Come one, come all, come see Snow Patrol play your own small part of the earth.
