Kodaline to host listening party for new album at Tower Records

Ahead of the release of their third studio album - 'Politics of Living' - Kodaline are giving fans the opportunity to hear the album early as well as witness live performances of tracks from the record. Set to drop on the 28th of this month, the band will be having an exclusive listening party for the album this Friday September 21st at Tower Records on Dawson Street.

The intimate event marks the first of a few in-store performances Kodaline have coming up in promotion of the record, including one at HMV in Belfast the following Friday.

The Swords four-piece burst onto the music scene in Ireland and beyond in 2013 with their debut LP 'In a Perfect World', which performed strongly in the Irish and UK charts and featured their first number one single 'High Hopes'. This success was built on with their sophomore number one release 'Coming Up for Air' and they have continued on that upward trajectory since, having played to a sold out crowd of 20,000 at Malahide Castle in June of this year.

'Politics of Living' promises to continue this forward momentum, so fans of the quartet wanting to attend this event are urged to act quickly. To register for a place to attend, you have to pre-order a copy of the album either in the Tower Records store or online at towerrecords.ie. Event organisers have stressed that there will only be one wristband for entry per pre-order of the album, and that because of the strictly limited capacity, attendees will be contacted prior to the night to confirm all details.

Kodaline's most recent single, 'Head Held High', came out at end end of August. The band tweeted the track was about " staying positive when you think everything is falling apart". You can check out the official video for the song below:
