With their Olympia Theatre shows completely, totally and inexorably sold-out, Snow Patrol have confirmed a third and final Dublin date at The R.D.S. on December 29.

Tickets priced €34.50 go on sale at 9am on Saturday October 2.

Prior to that comes the October 25 release of a new single, 'How To Be Dead', and the November 29 of their first long-form DVD, Snow Patrol Live 2004 – Mums And Dads Of The World Please Be Patient With Your Children, which was shot last month at London's Somerset House.
