Another Day, Another Concert… This time it was Snow Patrol in Zurich at The Hall. The last time I saw them was also at the Hall but in 2019. Back then it was still called Samsung Hall. With a little over 4,000 people, the venue was nicely filled. There was still enough room to breathe and dance, but you could see and feel that they were close to selling out the place. 

And for once, the audience wasn’t just packed with young kids. Not like many of the shows I apparently tend to go to 😀. So it was refreshing to be surrounded by people around my age, all equally excited to see the band live again.

Opening the night was The Florentinas, a rising indie-rock band from Northern Ireland. Their energetic set warmed up the crowd quite well. Also someone please tell bass player Jacob that his energy on stage is freaking amazing and the smile very infectious. Obviously they all did great 😀

Shortly after 9 PM, it was time for Snow Patrol. The band’s stage production was impressive. While the setup seemed simple at first, the lighting design really came through during the show. While there were always nice lights and visuals in the background, there was a short period where a massive curtain dropped in front of the band. Displaying stunning visuals that really complemented the mood of the songs.

For me, one of the little highlights of the night was when Gary Lightbody dedicated “What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get” to the entire crew. He took the time to introduce the people behind the lights, sound, and overall production. Of course, the night wouldn’t have been complete without the classics. Run was a clear highlight. While many expected Chasing Cars to be the encore, it appeared just a few songs earlier, much to everyone’s delight. 

Overall, it was another solid performance by Snow Patrol. They once again showed us why their music continues to resonate with so many, even so many years later.
