Snow Patrol

In July 2009, when Snow Patrol performed "Chasing Cars" live at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, they were experiencing significant popularity following the release of their album "A Hundred Million Suns," which came out in late 2008. This album marked a high point in their career, featuring hit singles like "Take Back the City." "Chasing Cars," originally from their 2006 album "Eyes Open," remained one of their most recognizable tracks and was a staple of their live performances. During this period, Snow Patrol had established a strong fan base and received critical acclaim, particularly for their emotive lyrics and anthemic melodies. The live performance at Oxegen was part of a larger tour that celebrated their success, underscoring their status as one of the prominent alternative rock bands of the time. The festival setting provided a vibrant backdrop that amplified the emotional resonance of the song, highlighting their connection with the audience.
