Music journalists are always clambering to find the next big things at major festivals like Coachella – which takes place in the Colorado Desert in California  - and this year our own Hozier was the name on everyone’s lips.

The LA Times included Hozier in its list of ‘five acts you might have overlooked’, saying:

Hozier feels like this year’s version of the act booked for Coachella just prior to scoring a huge mainstream hit.

The Hollywood Reporter, meanwhile, said that Hozier played “to a massing throng stretched far back along the field”.

They added that his set “seemingly set out to prove that his repertoire goes deeper than one great song”, and he “displayed songwriting chops and showmanship”.

Entertainment Weekly recommended going to see Hozier, saying “he sounds good from everywhere”.

On Twitter, the reaction was even more enthusiastic:
