Snow Patrol, who visited Manila for the first time for their Fallen Empires world tour, grieved with the victims who lost homes and loved ones in the recent floods. They said they will return to the Philippines “as soon as [they] can.”

MANILA, Philippines—The Asian leg of Snow Patrol’s “Fallen Empires Tour” has finally started with shows in Hong Kong and Singapore last weekend. On Thursday, August 9, Filipinos witnessed Snow Patrol live for the first time at the Smart Araneta Coliseum brought to us by Dickies, PLDT and Tanduay Ice Blue.

Snow Patrol, composed of members Gary Lightbody on vocals and rhythm guitar, Johnny Quinn on drums, Nathan Conolly on lead guitar, Paul Wilson on bass, and Tom Simpson on keyboards, is the band behind some of the biggest hits of the decade: “Chasing Cars,” “Signal Fire,” “Run” and “Just Say Yes.”

Following the success of their album “A Hundred Million Suns,” their latest record, “Fallen Empires,” released in 2011 spawned the singles “Called Out in the Dark,” “This Isn’t Everything You Are,” “New York,” and “In the End. “
