SNOW Patrol have been announced as the latest headliners for Forest Live at Delamere.
The Northern Irish indie rock band will be heading to Cheshire in 2025 as part of Forestry England’s popular summer concert series.
The group, best known for their emotive and anthemic hits including ‘Chasing Cars’, ‘Run’, ‘Just Say Yes’ and ‘Open Your Eyes’, will be lighting up the picturesque surrounds of Delamere Forest on Friday, June 13, 2025.
Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid, formed Snow Patrol in Dundee in 1994.
They released their 5x-platinum, major-label debut Final Straw in 2003, with hit track ‘Run’ catapulting the group to national fame as they led the charge of the post-Britpop movement.
Over the course of their career, Snow Patrol have earned a momentous seven Meteor Ireland Music Awards, an Ivor Novello award and been nominated for six BRIT Awards and one GRAMMY. Earlier this year, the band released their aptly titled UK Number One album The Forest Is The Path to widespread acclaim.
