Snow Patrol have been a band for more than 30 years – and over that time have managed to create one hell of a legacy with their music.
From ballads like Chasing Cars and Run to upbeat classics including Chocolate and Open Your Eyes, the group – from Northern Ireland but formed in Scotland – were built for stadiums.
Going through line-up changes throughout the years, the band's frontman Gary Lightbody now remains the only original member of the group, and is currently performing alongside Nathan Connolly (guitar, backing vocals) and Johnny McDaid (piano, guitar, keyboards).
As they kick off their European tour, we look back at their career so far.
Here's what you need to know about the band's extensive releases to date.
