Classic Album Night: Snow Patrol - Eyes Open (20th Anniversary)

Oh Yeah Music Centre is marking the twentieth anniversary of Eyes Open on Friday 6 November, as part of the Sound of Belfast 2026 festival. It's a Classic Album Night, and the record being celebrated is Snow Patrol's biggest-selling album, the one that helped take Northern Irish music to a global audience.

Rather than a straightforward tribute, the night works by bringing in local artists to reinterpret songs from Eyes Open. It's a series of covers of the album's tracks, played by different acts throughout the evening, so you'll hear the songs reimagined in a few different ways rather than just run through as they were originally recorded. The album itself came out in 2006, and this marks two decades since it hit the shelves.

It's one of the Classic Album Nights hosted by Oh Yeah as part of Sound of Belfast 2026, a series that focuses on records that left their mark on listeners. The venue is at 15-21 Gordon Street, BT1 2LG, in the heart of the city. The night runs from 19:30 to 23:00, so it's a full evening's worth of music rather than a short set. Tickets are £15.
