Snow Patrol have announced two last minute acoustic shows in Belfast and Derry this week.

The Co Down band, who are famous for hits including Chasing Cars and Spitting Games, will play the Waterfront Hall in Belfast tomorrow night and the Millennium Forum in Derry on Thursday night.

It will be their first concerts in Northern Ireland since the Covid-19 pandemic struck.

In a statement, the band said they "desperately wanted to add some NI shows onto this tour that we are currently on.

"We didn’t think we were going to get a chance to play in NI on this tour but the opportunity has presented itself so we jumped at it.

"Sorry about the short notice but the only way we could make the shows happen.

"We’re really looking forward to them both".

The band last played Belfast in December 2019 as part of their Reworked UK and Ireland tour.

They previously played their third Ward Park concert in Bangor in May of the same year.
