The record includes guest appearances by Scott Ian (Anthrax), Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle), and Mike Leon (CKY, ex-Soulfly).

  • Listening Now : Lofi Milk x Issei Igarashi – Woven Moments

    Lofi Milk and Issei Igarashi craft a beautifully intimate late-night atmosphere on Woven Moments, a jazz-infused lofi meditation overflowing with warmth, nostalgia, and understated elegance. Gentle trumpet melodies drift effortlessly above soft guitar lines, mellow keys, and relaxed beats, creating a soundscape that feels deeply human and quietly cinematic. The organic interplay between live jazz expression and calming lofi textures gives the track a timeless emotional glow, equally suited for reflection, study sessions, or solitary nighttime walks. Smooth, tender, and richly immersive, Woven Moments captures serenity through simplicity and emotional nuance.

  • THE SCRIPT returning to Australian arenas for Man In The Arena World Tour in March 2027

    Photo Credit Simon Emmett

    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’.

    The User’s Guide To Being Human follows 2024’s Satellites. It was a record that saw vocalist Danny O’Donoghue attempt to process the grief that followed the tragic passing of his bandmate and friend Mark Sheehan in 2023. The record was followed by a global arena tour in which every show paid tribute to Mark.

    After the tour ended, Danny found himself energised and inspired. Within a week of finishing, he was writing and recording new material with Andrew Frampton, Steve Kipner and Jimbo Barry, who between them had previously contributed to many of The Script’s huge hits, including Hall of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ and ‘Breakeven’.

    ‘A brilliant moment of pop theatre’ – The Guardian
    ‘An upbeat, energetic number setting a vigorous mood from the get-go’ – TheMusic

    Man In The Arena’ opens both the album and this rebooted, reenergised new era for The Script. It’s a declaratory, muscularly tuneful theme song that draws on all the band’s experiences and worldwide successes over the last two decades, and that will be front and centre when the band embark on their headline worldwide arena tour later this year.

    Don’t miss the epic return of The Script in March 2027!
