The Rathcoole native, who dropped his second album, Sonder, on Friday, performed some of his hit singles from the long-player; including fan favourites 'Something To Someone' and 'Kiss Me'.

Kennedy's second studio offering, out now via Universal, is climbing up the UK and Irish charts this week.

He's currently on track to score his second UK and Irish number one album, after breaking records with 2019's debut Without Fear. Sonder has already overtaken Taylor Swift’s Midnights by 12,000 sales so far.
