Tickets for this were described online as "the hottest in Galway".
iRadio's Kodaline gig at O'Connell's Bar in Galway last night was highly anticipated and didn't disappoint.

100 lucky iRadio listeners won their tickets on air, online and on the streets of Galway, and were rewarded by getting up close and personal with one of Ireland's most successful bands. They were VERY excited!

People were so desperate to get their hands on tickets that they came up with brilliant entries, such as this one from Kodaline super fan Alannah from Mayo.
Listeners travelled from all over Ireland, with some making the journey from Birmingham and even Austria.
Austrian woman Veronica flew over as soon as she got her tickets. She described the gig as a 'dream come true'.
Fans were overjoyed to hear the first ever performance of Kodaline's new single, Follow Your Fire, acoustically.
And they got a huge surprise after the gig - a meet and greet with Steve, Mark, Vinny and Jason!
The excitement! #KodalineiRadio @Kodaline @OConnellsGalway pic.twitter.com/iUMvfenuyJ
