Kodaline have been together for over a decade and will soon record their fifth and final album.

Kodaline have announced Irish dates for next year following the announcement the band are splitting up.

The band will play the first of two farewell gigs at Virgin Media Park in Cork on Friday, June 19.

That date will be followed by a show at Dublin’s Malahide Castle on Saturday, June 20. Tickets for both shows will go on sale this Friday.

News of Kodaline’s split came last Thursday when the band shared a message with fans, announcing they would be saying “goodbye to Kodaline” after more than a decade together.

The band, made up of lead singer Steve Garrigan, drummer Vincent May, guitarist Mark Prendergast, and bassist Jason Boland, released their debut album In a Perfect World in 2012.

“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,” the band said in a statement.

“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.”

The group said they plan to “end on a high” and have also announced plans to head back to the studio to record their fifth and final studio album.

“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.

“We can’t wait to see everyone. Thanks for all your support over the years it’s been an incredible journey.

“With all our love, Steve, Vinny, Mark & Jay.”

Tickets for Kodaline’s farewell shows will be priced from €54.85 and €65.70 and go on sale at 9am on Friday, October 17 via Ticketmaster.
