Kodaline: Live in Shanghai 2019
Date: Feb 20 - 8 pm
Venue: Bandai Namco Shanghai Base Dream Hall
Kodaline formed in Swords, north of Dublin, in 2012. As a four piece, they achieved immediate success. All I Want, from their first EP, has clocked up over 46 million views on YouTube. Their 2013 debut album, Perfect World, established them as a highly emotional pop rock band with perfectly crafted songs in the anthemic vein of Coldplay. The follow up, 2015's Coming Up for Air, gave them their second Irish number one. Politics of Living is the first collection of new music since 2015's Coming Up for Air. Kodaline was featured on Kygo's 2016 global hit "Raging". After a blockbuster summer including playing to a sold-out crowd of 21,000 fans at Dublin's Malahide Castle in June, as well as sets at the Isle of Wight and TRNSMT festivals, Kodaline is now set to tour Europe, North America and Asia. Kodaline are - singer Steve Garrigan, guitarist Mark Prendergast, bassist Jason Boland and drummer Vinny May.
