Kodaline @ 02 Academy 2, 2nd December 2015
On the 2nd December 2015 the wonderful Kodaline headlined a sold out show at the O2 Academy. This is a long way away from home from the 4 boys who are from Ireland.
The band had a simple set which is no surprise for the simplistic band. I’m glad it was simplistic because it set the mood for the folk music like its supposed to and wasn’t to much at all.
My hopes were extremely high for this concert due to the fact the albums they have released are great. I wanted the songs to be just as good live as they are on the CD in the car. The lived up to the expectation and more; the songs sound better live 110% and I would recommend going to a tour and seeing them when they are next in town.
They graced the stage hitting the show off with their song ‘Ready” off the brand new album ‘Coming Up For Air’. When ever they started a song the crowed roared and it was clear to see that everybody was so dedicated to the 4-piece band on stage.
My favourite song of the night was the last song on the Encore and it was ‘All I Want’. It’s my favourite Kodaline song and by the crowds reaction they were waiting for this song also.
I’m so happy I got the opportunity to see this Irish band live. I loved every second of it and I hope I get the opportunity to see them live again in the future.
