Scottish rock troupe Snow Patrol has announced plans to follow its U.K. tour with a month’s worth of North American tour dates throughout May and June.
The band’s new album, Eyes Open, is set for Stateside release May 9. They’ll land in Denver two weeks later, launching a 19-date tour at the Paramount Theatre.
Concerts are planned throughout the U.S., including stops in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco plus three dates in Canada. The tour wraps June 20 at The Wiltern LG in Los Angeles.
Snow Patrol opened for U2 in Europe last summer after a lengthy headlining tour in the U.S., then retreated to a studio on the Ireland coastline to record Eyes Open.
Fans at South by Southwest and in select U.S. cities got a taste of the new material this March when the band visited for a promo tour.
