SNOW PATROL - WARD PARK - Saturday 5th June
SNOW PATROL RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND SUMMER CONCERT AT WARD PARK CONFIRMED TICKETS ON SALE NOW
Snow Patrol are coming home...again!
North Down Borough Council are delighted that Snow Patrol are returning to Bangor on 5th June 2010. They promised to return at the last concert in 2007 and the band have kept their promise.
Snow Patrol have just announced that they will be returning to the venue in the summer of 2010. Snow Patrol will play Ward Park, Bangor on Saturday 5th June.
Singer/songwriter Gary Lightbody and drummer Jonny Quinn will be returning home again to perform in Bangor, the town where they both grew up. The band’s massive show at Ward Park in 2007 saw a sell-out crowd of 30,000 adoring fans welcome the band home in true Northern Irish fashion. And next year’s show promises to be even bigger and better! The full line up is yet to be confirmed.
Councillor Tony Hill, Mayor of North Down commented: “ We are delighted to welcome the return of Snow Patrol and guests to Bangor to perform their second homeland concert in Ward Park. It is a great accolade for the town to be chosen again to host such a concert. The concert will also be a great boost to the economy in recent difficult times in addition to a great day out.”
The council will work with all their partners to make the 2010 event another successful event.
Several more bands will be added to the bill over the next few months. Keep up-to-date on www.snowpatrol.com and www.northdowntourism.com
Tickets for the concert priced £44 including booking fee will go on sale this Friday 11 December at 9.00am from Ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.
From their formation in 1994 Snow Patrol’s hard-earned rise has seen them become one of the world’s biggest bands, culminating in them selling over ten million copies of their last three albums (2003’s ‘Final Straw’, ‘Eyes Open’ – released in 2006 – and last year’s ‘A Hundred Million Suns’), taking in Grammy, BRIT, BMI, Meteor and Ivor Novello nominations and awards along the way.
Snow Patrol are one of the biggest and boldest bands of the past decade. Over fifteen years and five studio albums, the five piece – singer songwriter Gary Lightbody, bassist Paul Wilson, guitarist Nathan Connolly, Jonny Quinn on drums and keyboardist Tom Simpson – have sketched heart-bruised ballads, arm-around-your-best-mate festival anthems, radio hits and moments of painful introspection.
All of these have been gathered together for the band’s current release ‘Up To Now’, a thirty track, double album of the band’s highlights to date and also heralds the start of their future with the monumental new single “Just Say Yes”. The album features the global smash hits “Chasing Cars” and the anthemic “Run” that accompany other Snow Patrol classics such as “Chocolate” and “Shut Your Eyes” as well as two other new songs, “Give Me Strength” and “Dark Roman Wine”. It has been in the Top 10 for over a month now and went platinum in the first week of release.
Tickets £44 including booking fee.
