About Kodaline

Kodaline are one of Ireland’s most successful modern rock and alternative acts, known for their powerful anthems, emotional songwriting and unforgettable live performances. Formed in Dublin, the band consists of Steve Garrigan, Mark Prendergast, Vincent May and Jason Boland. Their ability to blend atmospheric arrangements with heartfelt lyrical storytelling has earned them millions of fans worldwide. As they prepare to take the stage at Malahide Castle on 20 June 2026, their return to a major outdoor Irish venue marks yet another milestone in a career built on authenticity, connection and a catalogue of deeply resonant songs.

The band first rose to prominence in 2012 with their breakthrough single “All I Want”, an emotionally charged ballad that quickly became a defining track of the decade. The song went viral online, featured prominently in film and television, and introduced the world to Kodaline’s signature mix of tenderness and cinematic intensity. Their debut album, In a Perfect World (2013), soared to No. 1 in Ireland and produced hits such as “High Hopes,” “Love Like This” and “Way Back When.” The album established Kodaline as one of Ireland’s most compelling new exports, blending intimate acoustic moments with large-scale, arena-ready sound.

They continued their momentum with Coming Up for Air (2015), which debuted in the Irish top charts and expanded their musical palette with larger production, electronic textures and soaring vocal arrangements. Their third album, Politics of Living (2018), showcased a fresh evolution, featuring tracks like “Follow Your Fire” and “Brother” — songs that highlight their ability to merge modern pop influences with their emotional core. In 2020, they released One Day at a Time, a more stripped-back record written and produced during a reflective period, emphasising connection, simplicity and warmth.

Kodaline’s relationship with Irish audiences has remained central to their identity. Their concerts in Ireland are known for passionate sing-alongs, heartfelt speeches, and performances that feel like homecomings. Playing Malahide Castle — one of Dublin’s most atmospheric and historic outdoor venues — allows the band to bring their biggest songs into a setting that amplifies their emotional and musical scale.

Whether performing tender ballads or uplifting anthems, Kodaline’s concerts are defined by sincerity and emotional openness.

Their Malahide Castle show is set to be one of their standout Irish dates, celebrating both their musical journey and the fans who have supported them from their earliest days.
