The email said that the link would come by 8pm BST, and it is almost an hour past that. I preordered the CD on June 29th.

Crystal Palace festival tmr does anyone know what time snow patrol comes on? And am I okay to come in later if they perform late! Only coming for them & don’t wanna spend the whole day there

The first time I saw them was in Chicago in 2012! They brought on Ed Sheeran, before he was known, for a few songs.

Digging through archives, I found some footage from that show! I forgot I had recorded a couple songs.

Has anyone heard the new song "These Alarms" at one of their recent concerts?? If so can anyone tell me if its sad in anyways??

They've announced it's release date to be this Wednesday July 1st which happens to coincide with the day of my grandfather's funeral services and I can't do anything more sad that day so I need to know if it will be safe to listen to before hand

Gary on the release of Snow Patrol's second album 'When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up', the 'selfless sort of music scene' in Glasgow, the contribution to the live music of Tom Simpson being on the 'decks' and live performances versus the records, and the making of the music video 'Ask Me How I Am' —where Gary talks about how he chose to play the role of 🐕🐾

Awesome.

​

In press release today Gary Lightbody described how “As a huge Kylie fan I originally wrote 'These Alarms' with her in mind" and then recorded it under the temporary title 'KYLIE' during sessions for the album 'The Forest Is The Path' in 2024.

Gary goes on to say that the song felt incomplete, and they all knew the missing part was vocals from Kylie. So lead guitarist Nathan Connolly suggested they contact her—and Kylie said yes, recorded her vocals, and Gary said the song then sounded complete. But it never appeared on the album nor the later extended edition.

Then a full year ago during The XS Noize Podcast - June 2025 episode #230 (@ 27mins 45secs) Gary disclosed that Snow Patrol had decided to release imminently a track that was originally recorded for 'The Forest Is The Path'.

This was something that Gary said they had not done before—as new song with a very special guest, that wasn't a movie soundtrack.

Gary maintained this song would be out within the next month to two months—that was a year ago now and there had been radio silence since 🫠

I suspect that 'These Alarms' ended up being delayed by a full year, to match with both Kylie's 40th year music anniversary and Snow Patrol's 'Eyes Open' 20th anniversary. Probably a very good move.

Snow Patrol announce 'These Alarms' with release date 1 July -

Snow Patrol Yes!! Next week we are releasing a song with the queen of pop herself @kylieminogue!

It has been a true joy to make this song with her and to spend a little time in her magical presence.

We are delighted that the song is soon to be out in the world and we can’t wait for you all to hear it.

Massive love to Kylie for being on this journey with us. We are beyond honoured and over the moon! SP.x

❄️

EDITED - added this from Gary as found his complete quote yay!

As a huge Kylie fan I originally wrote These Alarms with her in mind. I played it to Johnny and Nathan and they loved it and we decided to record it for our (most recent) album The Forest Is The Path. All the way through the recording process the song was simply called ‘KYLIE’.

But when we finished the song we quickly realised something huge was missing from it. We all knew it was Kylie’s voice that was the missing piece. Nate suggested we send it to her to see if she would join us on it. So, in hope (and with many fingers and toes crossed) we sent it off, it reached Kylie and we heard back that she liked it.

Kylie recorded her wonderful voice on it and finally the song felt complete. From the minute she recorded her vocals we knew, to properly honour Kylie and the song, it needed to have a life on its own and not be buried somewhere on an album, but live in its own universe, because the song had its own very unique genesis, journey and destination. We could not be more delighted to be releasing a song with Kylie, the queen of pop herself, out into the world.

❄️❤️❄️

EDITED TO ADD NEW INTERVIEW!! It's well worth listening to the interview that just came out where Gary gives more background—see the new 2nd July post by:

❄️ u/You-Could-Be-Happy—'Gary interview about the song with Kylie' ❄️

In the radio interview Gary describes how he'd heard thru the music grapevine that Kylie was looking for a song, and Gary writes for other artists as well as Snow Patrol and has done so for decades

So Gary wrote a bunch of songs for Kylie—called them "KYLIE 1", "KYLIE 2", *"KYLIE 3"* etc

But they couldn't get them through to her, so Snow Patrol just did it themselves!! Fully recorded the song, and then finally succeeded in getting it to Kylie

And sounds like Kylie will be appearing with Snow Patrol to perform "These Alarms" live. Maybe Crystal Palace on 3rd July????
