The Netherlands has a thing for Kodaline. After the ballad All I Want was made Megahit by Radio 3FM at the end of 2012, the Irish band performed at the London Calling festival that year. In 2013 Eurosonic, Pinkpop and Lowlands were visited, and in 2014 the band could be seen again at Pinkpop. Kodaline is certainly popular. This is undoubtedly because Kodaline has just about everything that makes
… big crowd pullers like Coldplay and Snow Patrol attractive. Accessible pop songs with a careful alternative edge and easy to sing choruses, Kodaline delivers them with ease. Where the Irish were compared time and again with Coldplay with their debut In A Perfect World (2013), it can be said of Coming Up For Air that this time an American band like Imagine Dragons has also been well listened to. Songs like Human Again, Ready or Dream Bigger sound a bit heavier and have a full, sometimes more electronic sound, with which she will undoubtedly be able to please many festival grounds. (IV)more
