Having just completed a North American stadium tour with Ed Sheeran, and appearances at Lollapalooza in Chile and Brazil, the recently announced New Zealand and Australian shows will see Snow Patrol performing in a ‘Live and Acoustic’ mode. Getting back to their roots as a 3-piece featuring singer and guitarist Gary Lightbody, Johnny McDaid on guitar, piano and vocals and Nathan Connolly also on guitar and vocals. As a massive Snow Patrol fan, I was excited to jump on the chance to talk all things Snow Patrol with lead guitarist Johnny McDaid ahead of their upcoming Australian and New Zealand tour.
