Kodaline recently made a successful Manila comeback. The beloved Irish band, consisting of Steve Garrigan, Mark Prendergrast, Vinny May Jr., and Jason Boland, took the stage at The Filinvest Tent on September 14, 2023. Kodaline made their first appearance in the Philippines at the Wanderland Music and Arts Festival back in 2018, which created a lasting impression on their Filipino fans.
Before the headliners stole the spotlight, the Filipino band “The Ridleys” warmed up the crowd as the opening act. They performed some of their songs such as “Summertown,” “DYWTBM (Do You Want To Be Mine),” “Milkyway,” “Meaningful Silence,” and “Aphrodite.”
The audience reception was warm, with some of them having eagerly waited since the early hours. Dedicated fans already queued up at the venue as early as 4 PM.
Kodaline didn’t disappoint, delivering a heartfelt performance that had the audience swaying and singing along. They treated their fans to a repertoire of hits, including “Brand New Day,” “Wherever you are,” “The one,” “Love will set you free,” “High Hopes,” and “Brother.”
There was a moment of suspense as the band left the stage without performing their hit song “All I Want.” Undeterred, the audience took matters into their own hands, serenading the venue with “All I Want” until Kodaline returned for an unforgettable encore.
The encore consisted of two songs, “Everything works out in the End” and, finally, “All I Want.”
This event was made possible by Karpos Multimedia.
