THE SCRIPT RETURNING TO AUSTRALIAN ARENAS FOR MAN IN THE ARENA TOUR IN MARCH 2027
Frontier Touring are thrilled to welcome The Script, one of Frontier’s most toured international artists, back to Australia for three east coast arena shows in March 2027 as part of their Man In The Arena Tour.
“We can’t wait to take our worldwide tour back to Australia again. We have such a long-standing friendship with our fans and Frontier Touring, it feels like home away from home. Get ready for another banging show!”. – Danny O’Donoghue
The Script’s phenomenal and long-lasting success has seen them achieve six UK #1 albums and eight back home in Ireland, in the process exceeding 14 billion streams, 5 million album sales, and countless international Platinum certifications led by two US Platinum singles and two US Top 10 albums. In Australia, The Script have achieved five Top 10 ARIA Albums and released nine Platinum plus certified ARIA singles across their extensive career.
The Man In The Arena Tour marks the TWELFTH Australian headline tour with Frontier Touring and kicks off at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 23 March then onto Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on Thursday 25 March before a final stop at Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney on Saturday 27 March.
The Frontier Member presale runs 45.5 hours from Wednesday 27 May (11am local time) before tickets go on sale from Friday 29 May (9:30am local time). Tickets and tour information via: frontiertouring.com/thescript
Pre-order the new album from the official artist store for your presale access which commences Tuesday 26 May (11am local time) and runs 69.5 hours via thescript.tmstor.es/
The Script will play to an audience of 1.3 million this UK summer with a run of fifteen UK stadium shows as special guests to Take That next month, followed by five dates as special guest to Luke Combs including Slane Castle in Ireland.
Today, The Script enter a new era by sharing their new single ‘Man In The Arena’ (listen HERE) – the first taste of their new album The User’s Guide To Being Human (out Friday 14 August via BMG Australia, pre order HERE).
The Script celebrate the album with a huge UK, Europe, Ireland, Asia and Australia arena tour which starts in October 2026 – adding to the 4.5 million tickets they have sold across their career.
The skyscraping ambition of ‘Man In The Arena’ lives up to its title, with a hard-hitting R&B groove suddenly bursting into a classic Script mega-chorus built for the biggest of stages. A rousing Danny O’Donoghue delivers a typically charismatic vocal, with lyrics that affirm that the person who dares to put themselves in the spotlight is infinitely braver than anyone who criticises from the sidelines. Its lyrics are taken, in part, from a famous speech by American President Theodore Roosevelt.
“Most people will never fully understand the relationship I have with words and music. It’s how I process everything. I love music, I love words, and I love being Irish. All my life I poured indescribable emotions into song. When I was bullied in school, I never fought back. I’d wait until I got home and I’d try and sing as high and as powerfully as I could, letting the pain feel every note. When my father died, that grief became fuel for the best songs I could write.” – Danny O’Donoghue
The ‘Man In The Arena’ video reunites The Script with director Charles Mehling, who directed the band’s classic videos for ‘Breakeven’ and ‘For The First Time’.
