Snow Patrol @ Latitude festival

• 18th Jun 2006

Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody is recuperating at home in Glasgow after the band had to postpone their US tour this week, in order to be fully fit for their July UK shows.

Mean Fiddler boss Melvin Benn whose Latitude Festival looks set to be the band's first UK appearance is delighted “I am so pleased that Snow Patrol will be fully rested and match fit in time for our LATITUDE Festival. I'm sure their headline slot on the Friday will set the tone for an incredible weekend of Arts and Music”

Snow Patrol's management have issued the following statement:

“Gary has been ordered by a top vocal specialist in America to take a complete rest from singing for three weeks. He is doing exactly as he's told and we expect him to be fully fit for the band's scheduled shows starting in July. There are no plans to cancel any UK dates. US dates have been re-scheduled for September and the European tour for October remains unaffected. Playing live is what the band enjoy most and canceling any gigs, anywhere, is a very last resort.”
