Snow Patrol crank up the heat in sun-soaked Cork
On the warmest day of the year, Snow Patrol cranked up the heat even further with a red-hot performance in Cork City. Taking to the stage shortly after 9pm at Musgrave Park, the band quenched the crowd's thirst for hits on an idyllic balmy summer's night. The Northern Irish trio were supported by two Belfast bands, The Florentinas and Esmeralda Road, who get the crowd in the mood ahead of the main event. Shortly before Snow Patrol's arrival on stage, the Florentinas dedicated a song to the main attraction, and told the Cork audience how grateful they were to be on Leeside. Snow Patrol then rocked Leeside as they opened their set with popular 'Take Back the City.' 'What a beautiful day it is in Cork, how are you doing?' Gary Lightbody uttered after the band performed two hits back to back. "It's so good to be back here in Cork again, in this incredible stadium. "We're going to play some old ones and some new ones. Don't be afraid if you don't know the new ones, we're learning them as we go as well," Lightbody added. As the evening sun shone brightly, the crowd, many in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and some older, went back in time for a night filled with nostalgia, dancing, and swaying as Snow Patrol sang some of their classics, including, 'Chocolate', 'Chasing Cars', and 'Open Your Eyes.' Frontman Lightbody then led the audience through some feelgood tunes from their latest record. There was pure excitement on the faces of die-hard fans, as they sank in for the night, showing off their finest Snow Patrol T-shirts, and eager to get a front-row view of the band they've waited to see on Leeside.
