We’re dropping another pair of tickets on you, but this is a sold-out show so if you want them, you’ll have to act fast.

Snow Patrol rolls into town this Saturday for a show at the Riviera. Not since Big Country has Scotland produced a band so adept at creating anthemic rock that so epitomizes the highlands of their home country. They’re touring behind their most recent release Eyes Open on A&M, which is making all the British kids wet their knickers. Opening will be Augustana, who will undoubtedly make you wave your hands in the air in a manner resembling a lack of care.

Since this is a sold-out show, we want to give these tix to a really big Snow Patrol fan or really adept Googler. So if you and a friend want to hit up this show, fill out the form after the jump with your name, e-mail address and phone number, and answer the following question: Though the band formed in Scotland, lead singer Gary Lightbody is originally from what country? Entries must be received by 10 p.m. this evening. One winner from all correct answers received will be notified via e-mail tomorrow morning.
