Kodaline have announced their split after over a decade of making music, but have told fans they will be heading into the studio "one last time" to make their fifth and final album.
Known for their No 1 singles Give Me a Minute and High Hopes, the Dublin rock band, consisting of members Steve Garrigan, Vincent May, Mark Prendergast, and Jason Boland, posted a video to their Instagram page announcing the news on Thursday.
They captioned the video: "After over a decade, it's time to say goodbye. With all our love VSMJ", adding the hashtags: #ThankYou #KodalineLastAlbum #KodalineOneLastTime.
In a voiceover for the video, the band members said: "After over a decade together we've made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Kodaline.
"It might come as a surprise, and it's definitely bittersweet for us too.
"What we've shared has changed our lives forever.
"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.
"We are, and always will be, forever grateful for your love and support.
"It's been a journey that we'll never forget and we hope that the music stays with you long after we're gone."
They signed off the video: "With all our love Vinny, Steve, Mark and Jay."
Originally known as 21 Demands, the band formed in Swords in North County Dublin and changed their name to Kodaline in 2012 to reflect their new musical direction.
They released four albums, In a Perfect World (2013), Coming Up for Air (2015), Politics of Living (2018), and One Day at a Time (2020).
Kodaline last played in Ireland when they were among the Electric Picnic headliners in 2024.
