I don’t usually get to talk this much so I’m going to have fun with it”.Ĭontinuing the trip down memory lane with songs like ‘Empress’, ‘This Isn’t Everything You Are’, ‘Don’t Give In’ and ‘Run’, they made sure they covered all bases from their discography. As someone yelled out “play the song” during one of his anecdotes he quickly replied “If you don’t like talking in between songs then you’re at the wrong show.
Throughout the whole show, Lightbody entertained with his quirky little anecdotes and on-beat banter that was quick, reflective and enjoyable. He recounted the lyrics “y our hills and valleys are mapped by my intrepid fingers” and had a little laugh again with the crowd. He laughed as he sang it tonight and realised just how provocative it actually was. Taking a moment to tell the crowd how he read a tweet earlier that week about how a fan thought ‘Crack The Shutters’ was too personal to sing out loud. “Hello Brisbane! Everybody good?” Lightbody asked as the band kicked into opening tracks ‘Chocolate’ and ‘Crack The Shutters’. McMullan joined lead singer Gary Lightbody and guitarist Nathan Connolly for a 90 minute show of greatest hits, fan favourites and a lot of laughs. With Johnny McDaid scheduled to play piano on the tour, he was last minute replaced by support act Ryan McMullan after he had to stay at home after a surgery.
Stripping things back completely, the band appeared in a ‘Live & Acoustic’ form which saw them performing as a three piece to a sold out Brisbane crowd at the QPAC. Returning to Australia to celebrate the release of this record, the band decided to give the Australian crowds something a little different on this special run of shows.
The result of this well deserved break was their reflective seventh studio album ‘Wildness’. ‘Chasing Cars’ has been used in every emotional movie and TV show scene imaginable and has also been certified as the most played song of the 21st century in the UK, which is an incredible feat.Īfter taking a six year hiatus between records, the five piece needed time to re-discover themselves in a creative space. Managing to find the soothing contrast of both raw and vulnerable emotions, this Irish rock band have made a career of sharing their feelings in a vivid and captivating way. Snow Patrol are a band that have perfectly soundtracked the intimate moments of peoples deepest loves as well as their devastating heartbreaks.
