Snow Patrol will finally be making their comeback to UK stages early next year – but they are determined to do it with a bang.
The Scottish rockers have just confirmed the release date and title of their upcoming eighth studio album, The Forest is the Path.
The record is due to his store shelves and streaming services from September 13, 2024. This new batch of songs will follow their seventh record, Wildness, which was released six years ago in 2018.
Now, this new album – the band’s first new music since the COVID-19 pandemic – will be rooted in “reflection, introspection, interrogation”. And it has been welcomed by the public with an aptly titled single, The Beginning.
Frontman Gary Lightbody said: “I haven’t been in a relationship for a very long time, ten years or more, so love from a distance to me meant the way a relationship sits in your memory from a distance of, say, 10 years. That’s not something I’d previously thought about as away to write about love. So it’s like, when you’re in love, you’re standing in the lobby of the Empire State Building.”
Gary went on: “When you’ve broken up with that person, you’re out in the street. You can still see the building, but you’re not in there anymore. And when it’s ten years later, now you’re standing in Brooklyn looking at the Manhattan skyline.”
The upcoming tour will see Snow Patrol hitting the road throughout February 2025, with dates in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, and more.
