The Mancunion are giving away a pair of tickets to see Kodaline perform an intimate set from their hotly anticipated debut album A Perfect World at Hard Rock Cafe Manchester on 30 May ahead of their performance at Hard Rock Calling Festival. To be in with a chance of winning, just like and share this post on our Facebook page by 10pm today.  

Manchester born Absolute Radio DJ Pete Mitchell will introduce the chart toppers to the stage in a gig that will provide the perfect warm up ahead of their performance at this year’s Hard Rock Calling festival, which takes place 29 & 30 June at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

Pete Mitchell said: “With 2013 being hailed as the year of the return of the guitar band, Kodaline have timed their arrival perfectly. Welcome to Manchester lads.”

Kodaline’s Steve and Mark, along with bassist Jay Boland and drummer Vinny May Jnr, have had an explosive start off the blocks. In three months, their debut track ‘All I Want’ is approaching almost 100,000 copies sold.  Kodaline’s recent smash hit “High Hopes” also reached #16 in the UK single charts and #1 in Ireland. Influences are wide-ranging, from the likes of Radiohead, The Beatles and The Strokes to Thin Lizzy, Jackson Brown and Bruce Springsteen. Their debut album, In A Perfect World, is out on 10 June.
