The Dublin quartet had a very busy 2019, playing some of the biggest gigs of their career before the coronavirus outbreak shut music venues across the world.
At home in Dublin they sold-out two huge outdoor shows at St. Anne's Park, while a ten-date UK tour culminated with a packed show at London’s historic Roundhouse.

In other Kodaline news, lead singer Steve Garrigan announced earlier this week that he was releasing his memoirs, High Hopes, in October.
Speaking about the announcement, Garrigan said he was "very excited and slightly nervous to be releasing this book."
"It's something I never thought I’d have the courage to do but I’m glad I did. It touches on my experience growing up with anxiety issues, escaping into music, song writing and touring the world. I hope you guys enjoy my story."
