Irish rockers Kodaline to split after one final album

Kodaline are to split after more than a decade together.

The Irish rockers – comprising Steve Garrigan, Vincent May, Mark Prendergast and Jason Boland – will bow out with one final album.

In a video update to fans on social media, they said: “After over a decade together, we’ve made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Kodaline.

“We know this might come as a surprise and it’s definitely bittersweet for us too.

“What we’ve shared with you has changed our lives forever.”

They continued: “From busking on the streets of Dublin, to playing shows across the world, it really has been the stuff that dreams are made of.

“We want it to end on a high, so before we say goodbye we’re heading into the studio one last time to record our fifth and final album as Kodaline.”

Kodaline added:  “It’s been a journey that we’ll never forget and we hope the music stays with you long after we’re gone.”

The group’s upcoming album will mark their fifth full-length release and the first since 2020’s One Day at a Time.

The band was initially known as 21 Demands, and started using the moniker Kodaline in 2012.

Their debut album, 2013’s In a Perfect World, reached number three in the UK and number one in their native Ireland. 

At the start of their career, they were shortlisted for MTV Brand New and BBC’s Sound of 2013. 

They also co-wrote Harry Styles’ unreleased solo song Make It Feel Right and worked with Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid and Steve Mac.

Speaking previously to BANG Showbiz about working with the former One Direction star, frontman Steve said they were keen to work with Harry again.

He said: “The way that song [‘Make It Feel Right’] came about was Harry had listened to us and came to our show in Los Angeles and we were hanging out and we ended up in the studio.

“It was a lot of fun and we wouldn’t say no to working with him again, I love his album by the way.

“It’s not the direction I expected him to go in, it’s really mature but we wouldn’t say no.

“We’ve never really done the whole collaboration thing, writing for other people is a whole new world for us.”
