The Script are back and have announced a HUGE arena gig in Manchester this year
Boyband and radio hitmakers The Script are coming to Manchester and are playing out in the UK’s biggest arena with a big support act.
‘For the First Time’ in their career, The Script are playing their biggest ever live show right here in Manchester at 23,500 seater Co-op Live.
This Irish-based band have soundtracked generations with their hits spanning two decades including ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘Breakeven’, ‘Superheroes’ and more.
Consisting of lead vocalist Danny O’Donoghue with Benjamin Seargent on bass, guitarist Ben Weaver and drummer Adam Marcello, their music fuses pop and rock.
The Script has released three albums that have topped both UK and Ireland charts, as well as four Top 10 singles and they’re hoping to reign supreme on the charts once more with upcoming LP The User’s Guide to Being Human.
Although the full album doesn’t drop until August, Danny and the rest of the lads have just released a new single titled ‘Man In The Arena’.
There’s even a nod to the Northern music scene on the tracklist as one of the upcoming releases is labelled ‘The Crowd Was Singing Wonderwall’.
Other tracks on this LP include ‘Living Our Life Without Me’, ‘I’m 100 Different People’ and a song that’s sure to get a few tears out of all of us – ‘Grow Old with Grace’.
As well as announcing this new run of shows set for winter 2026, The Script are joining Take That on a stadium tour titled The Circus Live across June and July.
