 Snow Patrol announce an incredible
whistlestop two-day concert tour of four capital cities across the UK
and Ireland to launch their brand new album 'A Hundred Million Suns',
which is released on MONDAY OCTOBER 27th 2008 in The UK & TUESDAY
OCTOBER 28th 2008 in The US.
Starting in Dublin before moving on to
Belfast, Edinburgh and London, the 'Take Back The Cities Tour' starts
at lunchtime on Sunday October 26th at The Gate Theatre in DUBLIN. The
band then move on to BELFAST for a show at The Empire that evening.
Next day at lunchtime on Monday 27th October they play the Assembly
Room in EDINBURGH before travelling to The Bloomsbury Theatre in LONDON
for the final show there in the evening.
All the venues have
been specially selected by the band and are small and intimate giving
fans the chance to see the first live play of tracks from the new album
in very special surroundings. Limited tickets for each show are
available for Snow Patrol fans via the bands mailing list, and will be
allocated to applicants via a lottery draw. Each lucky ticket holder
will also get an exclusive free Live CD containing highlights of the
show they attend, picking up an artworked CD on the night, which will
contain details of how to download music the next day.
The
entrance lobbies of each of the four venues will be decorated with
drawings by pupils from local schools, who have been asked to supply a
representation of 'A Hundred Million Suns' in the form of painting,
colouring or collage. Snow Patrol are making a donation to each schools
Art Department.
The bands fifth studio album, 'A Hundred
Million Suns' was recorded through Summer 2008 in Hansa Studios in
Berlin (where Bowie recorded 'Low', 'Heroes' & 'Lodger') and at
Grouse Lodge deep in the Irish countryside. Written by Snow Patrol the
album has been produced by long time producer Jacknife Lee (Bloc Party,
REM, U2). The album is preceded by the brilliant single 'Take Back The
City' on October 13th, which has already been 'A Listed' at Radio 1 and
Radio 2.
