That U2 are coming to Athens on September 3 for the U2 360˚ TOUR, you knew. And through Mixgrill and a previous relevant article , you also knew that the opening act will be Snow Patrol.
Big Star Promotion announced yesterday officially that the North Irish Snow Patrol will support the long-awaited concert at Olympic Stadium.
Snow Patrol, the most important alternative rock band of the last 15 years, were selected by U2 themselves to appear as special guests. Founded in 1994 they consist of Gary Lightbody (singer, songwriter), Paul Wilson (bass), Nathan Connolly (guitar), Jonny Quinn (drums) and Tom Simpson (keyboard).
In the course of 15 years, they have sold more than 10,000,000 albums worldwide and have received nominations and awards such as Grammy, BRIT, BMI, have won six Meteor Music Awards and an Ivor Novello Award (the most reliable award given by musicians for musicians in the UK) for the "Final Straw".
Milestone point in their careers was the circulation of "Eyes Open" with which they became known worldwide and won a place in our hearts with the song "Chasing Cars" - a recurring theme of the television hit Grey's Anatomy. Indeed, "Chasing Cars" was the song most heard over the past decade, in Great Britain.
