  In July 2005, Snow Patrol performed at the Live 8 concert in London, where they delivered a powerful rendition of their hit single "Run." At this time, the band was riding the wave of significant recognition following the release of their third studio album, “Final Straw,” which had come out in 2003. This album played a crucial role in propelling the band to mainstream success, featuring popular tracks like “Chasing Cars” and “Run,” which became anthems of the era. Their participation in Live 8, an event aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat global poverty, not only underscored their growing prominence in the music scene but also aligned with the socially conscious ethos of the time. The performance is particularly notable as it helped introduce the band to an even larger audience, with the event being watched by around 2 billion people worldwide.
