The band have announced a secret hometown gig - their third low-key date ahead of new album Eyes Open.
They will be playing the Mandela Hall on Valentine's Day, 14 February.
In true Snow Patrol style, they only made tickets for this special gig available to their internet and street team fans, prompting a frenzy of postings on their forum at www.snowpatrol.net.
The Belfast date is the first of a number of gigs that have been announced by the Snow Patrol camp.
In addition to a low-key gig at London's Koko which sold out in less than thirty minutes, Gary Lightbody & co also have lined up a short European tour, which will be the first chance for fans on the continent to see the Belfast/Scot band since their support slots with U2 last summer.
Should you fancy a few days away, these are:
28 Feb - Caracol, Madrid, Spain
2 March - Forest National, Brussels, Belgium (supporting dEUS)
4 March - Vega Jnr, Copenhagen, Denmark
6 March - Prime Club/Stadtgarden, Cologne, Germany
7 March - Melkweg, Amsterdam, Holland
10 March - Noveau Casino, Paris, France.
