Snow Patrol perform at Delamere Forest Live 2025
The Northern Irish indie-rock band were the headliners in Cheshire last night (Friday, June 13) for the stunning woodland concert hosted by Forestry England.
Snow Patrol are best known for their anthemic hits 'Chasing Cars', 'Run', 'Just Say Yes' and 'Open Your Eyes' and hit the UK number one spot with their new album The Forest Is The Path earlier his year.

The Northern Irish three piece of Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid, formed in Dundee in 1994 and over the course of their career, Snow Patrol have earned a momentous seven Meteor Ireland Music Awards, an Ivor Novello award and have been nominated for six BRIT Awards and one GRAMMY.
Last night, they delighted fans at the beautiful outdoor Delamere Forest setting with their catalogue of hits.
Opening with 'Take Back the City' they went on to perform 'Called out in the Dark', and the hugely popular 'Run', written by frontman Gary 25 years ago!
Fast forward to their new album and tracks including All' and 'The Beginning' also featured.
'Open Your Eyes', 'What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?' and 'Shut your eyes' were all in the mix, in what was Snow Patrol's first time performing at Delamere.
And if the reaction of their dedicated fans is anything to go by, hopefully they will be back - 'Just say Yes'!
Earlier, indie rock band The Florentinas and BRIT Award-nominee and acclaimed pop singer-songwriter Freya Ridings were the support acts for Snow Patrol, with the headliners going on to dedicate the highly anticipated 'Chasing Cars' to them and the crowd.
