Taking Back the Cities Tour

December 03, 2023

The Taking Back the Cities Tour was a concert tour by Scottish/Northern Irish alternative rock band Snow Patrol. It was launched in support of the group's 2008 album A Hundred Million Suns. The band visited numerous arenas internationally from 2008 throughout 2009. The tour was the collective name of many smaller tours and festivals Snow Patrol played in support of their album. The tour has spanned 9 legs and had over 150 shows. The tour commenced on 26 October 2008 with the band playing a short whistle-stop tour of four capital cities.

Snow Patrol concert chronology

The tour has seen the band visit continents like Europe, North America, Australia and Africa. The band has mainly toured as a headlining act, though they have also supported Coldplay and U2 on their respective tours. Tour dates have included a number of summer rock festivals. Often, the band's set on tour has included playing the sixteen-minute-long "The Lightning Strike" in full, though sometimes only the first part is played.

Keyboardist Tom Simpson has said that the band has wanted to tour Asian countries like Singapore. They have not yet done so because they wish to give justice to UK and Ireland, as they feel they've been "neglecting them". He also said that there's a possibility of Snow Patrol touring Asia in 2010.[1] Lead singer Gary Lightbody has written on the band's website that they'll be returning to headline their own mini-festival at Ward Park next year. He has also revealed that it will be one of few concerts they'll play in the UK and Ireland in 2010, as they intend not to play any festivals and only "special occasions".[2][3]

The show edit

The lighting for the tour was done by UK lighting company HSL, which also supplied the crew. HSL previously worked with the band for their tours in 2006 & 2007.[4] The lighting on the tour is based on the concept of "creative synergy", which employs four visual mediums – lighting, digital lighting, video and movement. The initial ideas came from the band itself, who pitched them to Davy Sherwin, lighting & visuals director. Sherwin had previously worked with the band on their tours in 2006 & 2007.[4] He came up with a simple arrangement of LED and moving lights, which he felt went well with the music of the album. A metalwork layout of five trusses running upstage/downstage was then added, referring "sun rays" from the album title. The trusses are hinged down at upstage end, so they are freely movable into the performance area. After the design was finalized, Sherwin started to program the show on an ESP Vision visualizer system. He then recorded every song onto a hard drive, and made QuickTime movies of the lighting scenes. These were used by Robin Haddow (live visuals director) and Blue Leach (video director) to program the screen looks, colors and effects, referring to Sherwin's cues. They rehearsed the show for six days at Wembley Arena. In live concerts, Sherwin, Haddow and Leach work together to ensure all four cues (lighting, digital lighting, video and movement) work properly. Sherwin and Haddow operate two WholeHog 3 consoles each, and Rupert Reynolds works the Kinesys system, which produces the effects. The tour is the first ever to use Barco's digital moving lights.[5][6][7]

Lighting gear

The Snow Patrol concert on the Irish TV Series Other Voices 8 marked the first time optical burst switching technology was used in the transmission of a live concert. Fans were provided a live high-definition streaming of the concert at the Benners Hotel, nearby the venue St. James' Church, among various other locations that were connected to a fiber optic network. The link could also be picked up in Wi-Fi spots on PDAs, laptops and mobile phones. This instance was aimed to demonstrate the new technology, which was invented and developed in Ireland.[8][9]

Tickets edit

Tickets for the Take Back the Cities Tour were initially available to only those who had signed up for the Snow Patrol mailing list on or before 2 October 2008 due to intimate nature of the four shows. Members chosen received an e-mail with a pin-code which was needed to access their tickets.[10] A week later, a small competition was announced for fans in the US, where fans were required to sign up to enter. For the last two tickets, Xfm teamed up with Snow Patrol. The winners were chosen via a lucky draw. Winners, and a friend travelled with the band on their private plane and got to attend all four shows. They were provided with a video camera to capture the events. The captured footage was later put up exclusively on the band's MySpace. The prize included round-trip airfare to and from the US, transportation and tickets to all four shows. The tickets were priced at £22.50 each.[11] The Xfm tickets were bagged by Michael Green and his girlfriend Etly. Michael later wrote a review for Xfm describing his experience.[12] Ticket holders also received artwork at the concert, and instructions on how to download highlights of the shows, which were made available the next day of the concerts.[13]

Tickets for the UK & Ireland Arena Tour initially went on pre-sale exclusively from the official website from 31 October, 9 am until 1 November midnight. Tickets for general sale started from 7 November, 9 am.[14] The tickets were priced £30 and £32.50 and a booking fee of £3.00/£3.25 was charged. Tickets could be obtained through services like Ticketmaster and Trinity St. Direct for UK & Ireland customers.[15] Three pairs of tickets for the show at SECC in Glasgow on 24 February were given away in a last minute competition on the band's website.[16] In mid-February, Trinity St. Direct ceased trading. Tickets for the shows had not yet fully dispatched. In an official statement, however, the company stated that they would ensure delivery of all outstanding orders.[17]

On the Australian Promo Tour, Snow Patrol's promoter Frontier Touring Co. employed a strict ticketing policy because of the shortage of tickets for the one-off show at the 1,350 capacity Metro Theatre.[18] General sale tickets were available through phone, website, or the venue box office one day before the event (18 November) from 9 am and could only be purchased with a credit card.[18][19] One card holder could only buy two tickets, and the system was designed such that it'd reject attempts of subsequent bookings that bore the same e-mail, phone number or address. The buyer received a confirmation number at the time of booking and not the physical ticket itself. There were other ways of obtaining tickets too. Snow Patrol's official website held a small competition for members where ten pairs of tickets were up for grabs.[20] Universal Music Australia also ran a competition for fans where they had to buy the album or the single "Take Back the City" from iTunes or JB Hi-Fi and write in telling a reason why they needed to see the band. Winners received tickets for front row and centre.[21] On 19 November, 12 pm (the day of the concert), wristbands were made available at the venue. To obtain the bands, a photo ID, the credit card used for purchase and the confirmation number were required. The ticket purchaser and a friend had to arrive together with all proof to be wristbanded. As the show was for people in the 18+ year old bracket, a photo ID was necessary to ensure the attendee was old enough. The tickets were priced at $66[19] and were non-exchangeable nor transferable.[18] Anyone with a tampered wristband was refused entry.[18]

Interested fans were required to register on the Children in Need website, between 16 October 2009, 7 am (BST and 20 October 2009, 12 pm (BST). The people whose names came up were notified by e-mail, and were allotted a maximum of two tickets, each priced between £50–£100.[34] Since it was a charity concert, all profits from sales of tickets and recordings went towards the organization.[35] For the Versus Cancer concert, tickets were priced at £32.50 and were available from Ticketmaster, See Tickets and Ticketline. Proceeds from the concert went to local charities in Manchester, with the Christie Hospital being one of beneficiaries.[36]

On 16 October 2009, a competition called the "Up to Now Pub Quiz" was launched on Facebook. Fans were required to create teams of five, and were posed with ten questions, related to the band's entire career, each week. The team with the most correct answers at the end will fly to London to see one of the concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, with a certain part of travel cost paid. The team will be allotted their own private box at the venue, and will get a chance to meet the band afterward. Along the same lines, a Swiss radio station 20 Minuten hosted a similar competition for listeners. They had a pair of tickets for the concert for the Royal Albert Hall concert of 24 November to give away. All flight and hotel accommodation costs were paid for by the radio station.[59] UK radio station Xfm organized a competition called "Xfm's Snow Patrol Bad Photoshop Challenge", with ten pairs of tickets were up to win. These tickets would enable fans to see the band rehearse in a yet-unnamed location in Brighton at the eve of the Reworked Tour. The challenge was to associate five photoshopped pictures with Snow Patrol song titles. The competition will end on 10 November 2009. A further fifteen pairs of tickets will be given away on air.[60] Tickets for the intimate acoustic show in London for the promotion of Up to Now could only be obtained via two competitions, one organized on Play.com and the other on the band's official website. Both involved answering a simple question.[61][62] For the HMV singing and performance, wristbands were available from 9 am on 3 December 2009. One band was assigned to one person, however, it was not necessary to have one to see the band perform. The bands were required only to gain access to the signing.[63] Tickets for the mini-festival at Ward Park will go on pre-sale on 9 December 2009, and on general sale on the 11th, priced at £44.[2][64]

As a headlining act edit

Take Back the Cities Tour edit

"I love you to bits. This song is not about you - because that would be weird - but it's for you Honey Bridges."

Gary Lightbody (Dedicating a song to his niece)

Snow Patrol played a short two-day concert tour two days before the release of their album, the tour being named after the single "Take Back the City".[65] The band played in four capital cities in a 48-hour period.[10] The band shuttled between the four cities in a twin propeller private jet. Dubbed the "Patrol Plane", it was used to accompany the band, the crew and competition winners to the four shows. The band also asked local schools, and got kids to draw pictures on the theme of the album title, which was displayed in the entrance lobbies of the chosen venues.[13]

The band's homecoming show in Belfast saw the frontman Gary Lightbody's family attending. He admitted being nervous before the show.[66] During the show, he dedicated "The Golden Floor" to his 15-month-old niece Honey. Following the concert, the band signed copies of the album at HMV Donegall Arcade.[67] The next show in Edinburgh saw a pleased Paul Wilson return to his home country, Scotland. On the way to the final show in London, Wilson mentioned "Crack the Shutters" as the next single from the album. The band shot the music video a couple of days later.[68]

"Seeing as it was Edinburgh and the pubs stay open pretty much 24 hours a day, everyone was drunk maybe. It was the best crowd. Brilliant."

Paul Wilson (On return to hometown)

Australian Tour edit

Snow Patrol undertook a small promo tour of Australia in November 2008 to celebrate the album reaching #6 on the Australian charts and getting certified Gold. The tour included a one-off show in Sydney[19] and two television appearances. This included an intimate concert for a crowd of 300 for Max Music TV. Dubbed the "MAX Sessions", the concert was held at the Hordern Pavilion, which was transformed into a makeshift studio for the night. The performance aired on MAX on 7 December at 7 pm as "MAX Sessions: Snow Patrol" and was interspersed with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews the band as they prepared for the show.[71]

UK & Ireland Arena Tour edit

 
"The Lightning Strike" being performed live.

Ahead of the Snow Patrol's UK & Ireland Arena Tour, the band played a one-off intimate show at the Apple iTunes Store on Regent Street, London on Friday 13 February. The performance was released as a live EP called iTunes Live from London on the iTunes Store a week later.[75]

Snow Patrol kicked off their UK & Ireland Arena Tour on 22 February 2009 at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth. The tour lasted one month and featured a number of support acts. The band's website reported that the band had hand-picked their favorite new artists to support them on the tour.[76] Longtime friend of the band Miriam Kaufmann toured with the band and sang lead female vocals on "Set the Fire to the Third Bar", which originally featured Martha Wainwright.[77][78] On 9 March, Gary Lightbody & Nathan Connolly appeared as guests in Iain Archer's set at the Ulster Hall, Belfast, which was hosting "Do You Remember the First Time?" a one-off event by BBC Across The Line.[79] Lightbody wrote a blog about the other artists that appeared at the event later.[80] The last show of the tour had the band's friends & family and the Northern Irish Football squad in the 9,000 strong audience. The band played to an estimated 200,000 fans on the tour, which is their biggest to date.[81]

The tour constantly featured the sixteen-minute-long "The Lightning Strike" as an encore. For the performance, a high definition sixteen-minute animation was played on a 60×40 ft projection screen as visual, as the band performed the song. The animation featured origami in the style that appeared on the album artwork for A Hundred Million Suns. The film was created by Undabo Studios and Atticus Finch[82] and took three months to make.[83]

The tour commenced 10 September and finished 20 October and spanned 22 dates across various locations.[93][94] Following the positive response following the shows at Nashville (during supporting Coldplay on the Viva la Vida Tour), the tour also saw the band return to the city for a headlining show.[95] American rock band Plain White T's supported the band on all dates.[96] The band also appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman on 24 September 2009 to perform during the tour.[97] In Portland, Lightbody took a walk in the city and visited Powell's Books, which he described as "his favorite bookshop in the world".[98] He picked up a couple of copies of his favorite book, Grab Onto Me Tightly as if I Knew the Way by Bryan Charles, among others for friends[98][99] Lightbody later wrote a blog for the official website describing his Portland experience, and also revealed plans of side-projects Listen...

Sideshows
 
Gary Lightbody at the Houndstooth Pub on 23 September 2009

Reworked Tour edit

 
Snow Patrol at the Royal Albert Hall on 24 November 2009.

Snow Patrol played a special tour at the end of 2009, dubbed the "Reworked Tour". Drummer Jonny Quinn had initially revealed plans for such a tour in an interview before.[112] Members on the Snow Patrol mailing list initially received an e-mail revealing details of the tour, which said that the band will be playing re-worked versions of songs spanning their whole career, as well as songs from The Reindeer Section.[50] Lightbody has credited the idea of the tour from Jo Whiley's Little Noise Sessions (Snow Patrol did one in 2007)[113] saying there's a "never before heard them" vibe to it.[114] The band used strings, brass sections, and choirs to rework their songs. Nathan Connolly warned fans to not expect to hear the hits as they were.[115] The band visited a south London studio to rehearse the reworked songs,[116][117] where they experimented with styles as country, motown and heavy metal.[118] The band said that the reworking of the songs is not because they're inferior. They hoped that trying something new may bring them more credibility, and made it clear it was not something to "look cool". They also felt that they had done plenty of "typical" concerts, and wanted to put in more effort to give the fans more value for their money.[119]

The tour began in mid-November and continued till early December. Snow Patrol played without any support act, so as to play the maximum number of songs possible.[120] They took the stage twice, the whole show being divided in two-halves with an interval in between.[121] The first half spanned about 40 minutes and featured softer, older material. The "louder" songs began from about halfway in the second half.[122] The band was accompanied by guests on-stage.[123] Though 18–20 musicians were initially reported,[114] 11 accompanied the band for various songs in each half.[121] These musical guests included former songwriting-collaborator Iain Archer. Archer played a variety of instruments, such as the lap steel guitar, banjo and the twelve-string guitar.[124] Other guests included members of Belle & Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub and Idlewild,[125] harpist Jennifer Crook (on vocals and harp) and longtime friend Johnny McDaid.[126][127]

At the Royal Albert Hall concert on 24 November, Snow Patrol brought in actor James Corden to sing the female vocal parts on "Set the Fire to the Third Bar". Lightbody had previously been impressed by the actor's vocal ability, seeing him singing at a Concert for CARE charity show. At the after-party of the Children in Need concert, a drunk Lightbody asked him if he would be interested to sing with the band on-stage. Corden initially thought Lightbody would not remember, and agreed to the invitation.[128] Lightbody, in his blog on the official website wrote that he was very nervous on stage at the first concert in Brighton. He said that he was feeling so for much longer than the time, when the band had started playing their earliest gigs.[122] The band arranged "Chocolate" and "Chasing Cars" as Nashville ballads.[118] Lightbody was delighted with the new arrangement for the latter,[129] and revealed that "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" was set to go through many arrangements during the tour. The band tried to vary the set lists for each show, definitely so where they played multiple nights.[122]

Festivals edit

The band headed to South Africa after their Australian Promo Tour to headline the Coca-Cola Zero Festival.[130] The band played two shows, and then returned to Europe to kick start the European leg of the tour. Apart from playing at the festival, the band also appeared at the IPL opening ceremony to play a short set.[131][132] Snow Patrol headlined BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend at Lydiard Park, Swindon on 9 May and 10.[133] Gary Lightbody and Nathan Connolly personally joined Chris Moyles on his radio show to announce details of the event.[134] The band was the main headlining act on the 9th.[133] In June, Snow Patrol headlined the Pinkpop Festival,[135] among others. The band played their set on the main stage on the last day, after which they joined Coldplay as a support act on their Viva la Vida Tour. The band further played at the Donauinselfest in the end of June.[136]

Snow Patrol was one of the acts at the iTunes Festival, which was held throughout July. The band played on 5 July, and was the co-headlining act for the day.[137] The performance was released as a digital EP on the iTunes Store as iTunes Live: London Festival '09.[138] The band later co-headlined Oxegen 2009 in July along with newly re-formed Blur.[139] The band joined Blur again to co-headline the T in the Park, just two days after the Oxegen Festival.[140] The band returned to Germany to headline the Sonnenrot Festival.[141] The show, though had to be cancelled due to torrential rains.[142] The band followed with Rockhal, T-Mobile Street Gig,[143] Stimmen Festival[144] and Open R Festival.[145] In August, the band will play at the Sziget Festival,[146] and the Pukkelpop Festival.[147] After the band's concert at the Street Gig in Dettenheim, lead singer Gary Lightbody broke a rib in a go-karting accident. Lightbody was livid with himself: "I had my very best idiot trousers on in Germany at the Street gig and we did a go-kart track in Dettenheim. I did say beforehand that I shouldn't go on them as firstly I shouldn't be in charge of anything that can go over 20 miles an hour and secondly I am the most accident-prone idiot in the western world. Did I heed my own advice? Did I fuck! So on I went and crash after crash later; finishing on a particularly nasty one that put took me to hospital where I discovered I have a broken rib. Sweet."[148] He made a full recovery and resumed touring in a few days.[149] Months later, in October 2009, Lightbody revealed the "truth" behind his crash, admitting that he cannot drive. He went on the explain the exact details of what had happened: "At the very last corner, I skidded to miss Jonny (Quinn) and I smashed into the side of the wall and actually came out of the go-kart. It was hilarious - for everyone who was watching. Everyone thought it was just me being me, 'Ah...leave him, he's fine.' But, an hour later, I was in hospital. It was good actually having a real injury rather than all the ones I make up in my head." He also admitted his bandmates did not believe he was actually hurt, as he was a "drama queen".[150]

The band was initially booked as a support act to Oasis[151] at the UK V Festival, playing the "Weston Saturday/Hylands Sunday" stage,[152] However, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher became ill with viral laryngitis, and Oasis pulled out. Snow Patrol then filled in the headlining spot[153] and played an extended set.[154] The band's set was available to listen live and uninterrupted through Absolute Radio's LiveAmp application for the iPhone.[155] In November 2009, they played at the Avo Session Basel. Sandi Thom and Emilíana Torrini supported them at the concert.[156]

Snow Patrol supported U2 over two legs on a handful of shows on their European and North American legs of the 360° Tour.[43] The second leg of shows from 12 September coincided with Snow Patrol's own headlining North American Tour. During the first leg of supporting shows, the band played a concert in Poland. Lightbody was overwhelmed by the show U2 put up, and broke down crying, only to find everyone else around him was doing the same. He later wrote a piece for U2's official website, describing his experience of the show, saying that it was one of the best nights of his life and the best reception they had gotten on the support shows.[164]

One-off shows edit

As promotion for the then unreleased album, in September 2008, Snow Patrol played an intimate acoustic set, a part of Live Lounge Tour 2008.[176] Host Jo Whiley joined the band in their London residence to cover the session.[177] Just before heading to Australia in November 2008 to do a short promo tour, Snow Patrol visited Berlin (where a part of the album was recorded) to play an exclusive one-off show.[178] The band also played a Live Lounge performance at BBC's Maida Vale Studios during the studio's 75-year celebrations on BBC presenter Fearne Cotton's show. The band's set included cover versions of most famous songs that were recorded in the studio over the years: "Teenage Kicks", "New Sensation", "Ray of Light" and "You Really Got Me".[179] Three of those were recorded and later broadcast on Greg James' show on BBC Radio 1.[180] Lightbody felt "honoured" to be playing at the studio, which has seen performances from artists like David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles in the past.[179] For the promotion of Up to Now, the band played an intimate, acoustic show in Crouch End, London.[61][181] On 3 December, Lightbody played at HMV Dundrum before signing copies of Up to Now with the band (with the exception of Connolly, who was ill).[63][182][183] The band also played a set with full orchestra for Irish TV series Other Voices 8.[184][185][186] Lightbody has announced that the band will return to play their mini-festival at Ward Park in 2010.[2][3] It will be the first time the band returns to their hometown since the last Ward park concert in 2007.[187]

Charity events edit

Snow Patrol played at the Music Industry Trusts' Award 2008, held to honor Lucian Grainge, CEO of Universal Music Group. They opened the show by playing "Chasing Cars", standing in for singer Duffy, who was struggling with throat problems. All proceeds from the event, a record breaking sum of £568,593 went to two charities: the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and the BRIT School.[188] In October 2009, Snow Patrol played at a headlining set at the second annual fundraiser for ONEXONE, a charitable organization committed to fighting health issues and preserving the lives of children globally.[189][190] The band played at Children in Need, a BBC charity concert, organized by Take That singer Gary Barlow in November 2009.[34] Following the event's tradition of every artist duet-ting with another, Barlow had asked the band if they were interested in duet-ting with British singer Cheryl Cole. Quinn later said that it was not something the band would normally do, but agreed to, because it was for charity. Cole rehearsed with the band one night before the show and sang Martha Wainwright's vocal parts on "Set the Fire to the Third Bar".[191] Additionally, the band played "Chasing Cars" backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.[116] In December 2009, the band will play at the fourth edition of Versus Cancer, an annual one-off concert to raise funds for the treatment of cancer.[192] Snow Patrol will again collaborate with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra on 12 December, with proceeds going towards local cancer charities.[36][193] Lightbody expressed his happiness on being involved: "Versus Cancer is a fantastic charity and we're delighted to be involved." The concert will be organized by Andy Rourke, past member of The Smiths.[36]

2009 The columns of video screens can be seen behind the band The lighting for the tour was done by UK lighting company HSL which also supplied the crew HSL previously worked with the band for their tours in 2006 amp 2007 4 The lighting on the tour is based on the concept of creative synergy which employs four visual mediums lighting digital lighting video and movement The initial ideas came from the band itself who pitched them to Davy Sherwin lighting amp visuals director Sherwin had previously worked with the band on their tours in 2006 amp 2007 4 He came up with a simple arrangement of LED and moving lights which he felt went well with the music of the album A metalwork layout of five trusses running upstage downstage was then added referring sun rays from the album title The trusses are hinged down at upstage end so they are freely movable into the performance area After the design was finalized Sherwin started to program the show on an ESP Vision visualizer system He then recorded every song onto a hard drive and made QuickTime movies of the lighting scenes These were used by Robin Haddow live visuals director and Blue Leach video director to program the screen looks colors and effects referring to Sherwin s cues They rehearsed the show for six days at Wembley Arena In live concerts Sherwin Haddow and Leach work together to ensure all four cues lighting digital lighting video and movement work properly Sherwin and Haddow operate two WholeHog 3 consoles each and Rupert Reynolds works the Kinesys system which produces the effects The tour is the first ever to

Lightbody was livid with himself I had my very best idiot trousers on in Germany at the Street gig and we did a go kart track in Dettenheim I did say beforehand that I shouldn t go on them as firstly I shouldn t be in charge of anything that can go over 20 miles an hour and secondly I am the most accident prone idiot in the western world Did I heed my own advice Did I fuck So on I went and crash after crash later finishing on a particularly nasty one that put took me to hospital where I discovered I have a broken rib Sweet 148 He made a full recovery and resumed touring in a few days 149 Months later in October 2009 Lightbody revealed the truth behind his crash admitting that he cannot drive He went on the explain the exact details of what had happened At the very last corner I skidded to miss Jonny Quinn and I smashed into the side of the wall and actually came out of the go kart It was hilarious for everyone who was watching Everyone thought it was just me being me Ah leave him he s fine But an hour later I was in hospital It was good actually having a real injury rather than all the ones I make up in my head He also admitted his bandmates did not believe he was actually hurt as he was a drama queen 150 The band was initially booked as a support act to Oasis 151 at the UK V Festival playing the Weston Saturday Hylands Sunday stage 152 However Oasis frontman
