Hot on the heels of U2's big announcement earlier today, Kodaline have confirmed they will be taking to the stage in the People's Republic of Cork later this year.

Aiken Promotions today confirmed that Kodaline will return to play Live at the Marquee Cork this summer on June 7, and we are pumped!

Last year Kodaline fans were treated to a new single Brother, a track which will rank amongst one of their very best.

The track was produced by Steve Harris and Two Inch Punch, with long-time collaborator Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol fame and executive producer. It’s the first addictive taste from their forthcoming new album.

Prior to that Kodaline featured on Kygo’s global smash Raging and have for the first time worked with a variety of different writers and producers including pop guru Wayne Hector on their forthcoming album.

This will be their first album since 2015's Coming Up For Air, which went Gold in the UK. The band's debut album, In A Perfect World has sold over a million copies worldwide and imprinted itself on the nation's consciousness with streaming figures well into the hundreds of millions. On Vevo, the band's videos have had over 200 million views, and they have sold over a million singles.

Tickets for this date go on sale on Friday February 2 at 10am from Ticketmaster, and we'll be bringing our A-game.

The Irish Embassy in Thailand is providing consular assistance following the disappearance of a Cork man in Bangkok last week.

54-year-old Anthony O'Sullivan from Mitchelstown has been missing for four days.

It's understood that a member of Mr. O'Sullivan's family has travelled to the Thai capital to help coordinate the search effort.

A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs said that they were aware of Mr O’Sullivan’s disappearance and were providing consular assistance to his family in Bangkok.

Anthony is described as a very experienced traveller having visited both the Himalayas and Cambodia in recent years.

According to The Irish Times, one local who spoke characterised Anthony as “a very decent fellow and popular too.”

“Anthony has travelled widely – he would save up and head off for a few weeks and then come back to Mitchelstown where he is well known.”

Irish holidays makers will be able to ditch the airports and set sail to Spain this summer thanks to a new route launched by Brittany Ferries.

The brand new ferry crossing will be the first to link Ireland with the popular holiday destination, and could potentially provide a tourism boost for both countries.

Passengers will sail from Cork to Santander in northern Spain, with a new ship being chartered to serve the route, as well as n additional weekly return-sailing from Cork to Roscoff, France.

According to The Irish Mirror, the ship, which will carry approximately 500 passengers as well as 195 cars, is said to offer a comfortable, no-frills service with a distinctly Spanish theme.

On board, passengers can expect to find a small shop, a café-bar and lounge areas as well as dining options that reflect the serviced regions.

The spacious cabins provide beds for up to four people, with a small number of per-friendly rooms also available.

The service is set to launch at the end of April, with two return sailings scheduled per week.

Brittany Ferries spokesman Hugh Bruton said: "This is a significant move for Brittany Ferries, offering haulage companies a direct route to Spain and passengers a far greater range of holiday options from Cork.

"As a destination so-called green Spain promises visitors a wealth of opportunities. It hosts sweeping sandy beaches, snow covered mountains just an hour from the port, fabulous food and offers visitors a welcome as warm as the Spanish will receive when they join us in Ireland.”

That's out summer holidays sorted anyway!

Coffee-lovers, listen up!

Frank and Honest is the closest thing to barista style coffee to ever come out of a machine – and now, Corkonians can enjoy their flat whites in the comfort of a swanky new café.

The coffee brewers have opened their first Cork city café in the newly revamped Supervalu store in Merchant's Quay.

As well as delicious gourmet coffee and a variety of sweet treats, the new premises will offer customers free Wi-Fi, a cosy atmosphere and an impressive sit-in area.

Sick and tired of searching for the one perfect brew, the team at Frank and Honest decided to take destiny into their own hands – and with 100 per cent Arabica beans, hints of gingerbread and the sweet aromas of brown sugar and white chocolate, we are so glad they did.

We know where we'll be getting our fix the next time we're passing through the Rebel County…
