On 22 January, it was announced that Snow Patrol would be playing a special one-off performance at the Apple iTunes Store on Regent Street in London on Friday 13 February, which will then be available in the UK and Rest of the World to download as an exclusive live EP a week later.[2]

Xfm broadcast the performance in full on 21 February as part of the Xfm Live Hour between 8 pm and 9pm.
