Irish rock giants, The Script are making a return to the north this November along with James Morrison as support. Bringing their unmistakeable blend of heartfelt lyrics, soaring melodies and anthems back to northern stages.

The Script are renowned for creating a powerful connection with audiences, transforming every arena show into an unforgettable experience.

Whether you have followed The Script since the early days or discovered them through their more recent hits, this tour promises an evening filled with nostalgia, emotion and unforgettable live music.

New single, 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.

5th November -Newcastle, Utilita Arena
7th November -Manchester, Co-op Live
10th November - Leeds, First Direct Arena
14th November - Sheffield, Utilita Arena
