Snow Patrol surprised fans at their giant Crystal Palace Park gig by bringing out Kylie Minogue for the debut live performance of their new collaborative single ‘These Alarms’.
The indie rock giants headlined Crystal Palace Park last night (July 3), with support coming from Nieve Ella, The Amazons, Amy MacDonald and Editors.
They opened with 2008 fan-favourite ‘Take Back the City’, before launching into a setlist of their biggest hits, including ‘Run’, ‘You Could Be Happy’ and ‘The Lightning Strike (What If This Storm Ends?)’.
Later in the night, they surprised fans by welcoming Minogue to the stage for the live debut of their brand new single with the star, ‘These Arms’, which was released earlier this week.
After they performed their collab, frontman Gary Lightbody dedicated their 2006 classic ‘Chasing Cars’ to Minogue, with her joining in for a duet.

The collab with Minogue marks their first time teaming up with the pop icon – having initially recorded the song without her in 2024, and putting it on hold until they could secure a collaboration.
Led by pulsating synths and haunting vocal melodies, the track kicks in with both Minogue and Lightbody’s entwined voices. “It’s all at once/ And everything in between/ It’s not what we want/ But it’s just something that/ We need in our lives right now”, they sing, building towards the euphoric, anthemic chorus.
The song was first written by Lightbody two years ago under the working title ‘Kylie’ and set to be released on Snow Patrol’s chart-topping album ‘The Forest Is The Path’, until the band decided to put it on hold while they sought out a duet with the pop star.
After the set at Crystal Palace Park, Snow Patrol are also set to play a run of UK live shows this summer, which includes sets at Ludlow Castle on July 16, Edinburgh Castle on July 18, and Splendour Festival in Nottingham on July 19.
Snow Patrol’s last album, ‘The Forest Is The Path’ was their eighth LP and their first in six years. It featured production from Fraser T Smith and writing credits from Queens Of The Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen.
