Kodaline

Kodaline play Ulster Hall, Belfast on 17 June 2026. Formed in Swords, County Dublin, the quartet — Steve Garrigan, Mark Prendergast, Vinny May Jr. and Jason Boland — first appeared as 21 Demands before adopting the Kodaline name in 2012. Their songwriting leans on clear, melodic guitars, piano-centred arrangements and ballads, moving between indie pop, melodic rock and an intimate, confessional register. Across In a Perfect World (2013), Coming Up for Air (2015), Politics of Living (2018) and One Day at a Time (2020), the group has steered toward a broader, more pop-forward production while keeping a tight band dynamic and lyrics anchored in personal themes — relationships, absence, memory.

On stage, this translates into a set shaped by direct melodies, vocal harmonies and steady builds, drawing from early releases to more recent tracks. Piano and guitar share the lead, with arrangements that leave space for the voice and the songs. The show at Ulster Hall puts the focus on the essentials of Kodaline’s sound: accessible writing, a melodic backbone and a live energy that carries their catalog without frills.
