Snow Patrol and Kylie Minogue have teamed up for a sonic blast that's left fans breathless - 'These Alarms', their euphoric duet, is out now! This mesmerising collaboration marks the first time these musical titans have officially joined forces, and we can't get enough of it. The Northern Irish indie rockers were inspired to write the song two years ago with Kylie in mind, even giving it a working title that's not hard to decipher - 'Kylie'.
It took two years for this magic to come together, but trust us, it was worth the wait. Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody has revealed that he initially penned the song with Minogue in mind, recording it in 2024 but holding back its release until they could secure Kylie's vocals. And boy, are we glad they did! The result is a hypnotic and bittersweet blend of indie rock and pop perfection.
But 'These Alarms' isn't the only treat fans have to look forward to - Snow Patrol has also dropped the stage times for their highly anticipated Crystal Palace Park gig on July 3rd. And what a line-up it is! Nieve Ella takes to the stage at 3:00 PM BST, followed by The Amazons at 4:00 PM, Amy MacDonald at 5:15 PM, and Editors at 6:30 PM - before Snow Patrol bring the house down with their headline set at 8:20 PM.
This Crystal Palace Park concert is just one stop on a UK-wide tour that's got everyone buzzing. Following London, the band heads to Ludlow Castle (July 16th), Edinburgh Castle (July 18th), and the Splendour Festival in Nottingham (July 19th). And if you're itching for a physical memento, don't forget to pre-order their limited-edition 7-inch vinyl of 'These Alarms', which hits shelves on August 21st.
