Kodaline

An unforgettable farewell concert. Kodaline has been such a meaningful part of my life for years, so getting to see them one last time in Manila was something I’ll always be grateful for. The volunteers, staff, marshalls, and everyone involved were all so nice and helpful throughout the event. The overall experience was well organized, and I really appreciate everyone who helped make the night special. My only suggestion would be regarding the Soundcheck Experience queue. The schedule indicated queuing from 2–4 PM, so fans were already waiting from 2 PM. The queueing area was shaded and had a large ceiling fan, which was great, but the fan wasn't turned on until around 3 PM. Since fans had already been waiting for an hour by then, it would have been much more comfortable if the ventilation had been turned on from the beginning. Another suggestion would be communication during severe weather. Since there was a typhoon that day, an earlier official announcement confirming that the concert would proceed would have been reassuring. I understand there could be backlash if conditions changed later, but for fans who had already traveled, spent money, and were deciding whether it was worth taking the risk to go, knowing that the show was pushing through would have provided some peace of mind. Those are just small suggestions in an otherwise fantastic experience. Thank you to everyone who made the Manila show happen, and especially to Kodaline for giving us such a beautiful farewell. 💙
