The Script returns to Australia in March 2027 on their Man In the Arena Tour, playing shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, with Adelaide sadly missing out.
The Irish outfit’s twelfth tour of the country celebrates their upcoming new album, The User’s Guide To Being Human, out Friday 14 August via BMG Australia (pre-order here).
"We can’t wait to take our worldwide tour back to Australia again,” says vocalist Danny O’Donoghue. “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!”
The Script’s headline tour with Frontier Touring kicks off at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 23 March, then rolls onto Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Thursday 25 March before a final stop at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Saturday 27 March.
Frontier Members have first access to tickets from 11am AEST Wednesday 27 May to 9:30am AEST Friday 29 May. Sign up here. General on-sale takes place at 9:30am AEST Friday 29 May via frontiertouring.com.

Album number eight is preceded by the first single ‘Man in the Mirror’, a groovy R&B track featuring frontman Danny O’Donoghue’s rousing vocals with lyrics, 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,” O’Donoghue explains. “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.”
The Script is set to embark on a 15-date stadium tour of the UK this summer as support for Take That, followed by five shows as the special guest for country kingpin Luke Combs. October sees them begin their Man in the Arena Tour with concerts in the UK, Europe, Ireland and Asia, before touching down in Australia next March.
