In August 2012, when Snow Patrol performed "Chasing Cars" live at the V Festival in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, they were riding the wave of their acclaimed fifth studio album, "Fallen Empires," which had been released in late 2011. "Chasing Cars," originally from their 2006 album "Eyes Open," is one of the band's most iconic tracks and continued to be a centerpiece of their live performances. The V Festival performance showcased their ability to connect deeply with audiences, evidenced by the emotional response elicited by their songs. By this time, Snow Patrol had established a significant presence in alternative rock, with a reputation for anthemic melodies and poignant lyrics, culminating in a notable festival appearance that underscored their status in the UK music scene after years of growth and success. The band continued to evolve their sound and maintain a loyal fan base well into their career following this performance.
