Today, one of the biggest Irish bands of the modern era, Kodaline have announced global dates being added to their Farewell Tour live in 2026. Alongside the tour announcement, the band plans to release a fifth and final studio album later this year.

Kodaline will return to Manila one final time as part of their much-awaited Farewell Tour, set to take place on August 10, Monday, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

The band shared news of their upcoming separation with the following message for fans:

“Hi Everyone,

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. From busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out shows and arenas across the world, it really has been the stuff that dreams are made of.

We want to end on a high, so before we say goodbye, we’re heading into the studio one last time, to record our 5th, 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 will never forget and we hope the music stays with you long after we’re gone.”

With all our love,

Steve, Vinny, Mark & Jay
