The Script stands as a testament to resilience and legacy
The Script’s Satellites World Tour stands as a testament to resilience and legacy. Following the release of their deeply personal album Satellites, the Irish band have launched a globe-spanning tour that pays tribute to late guitarist and co-founder Mark Sheehan. Since his passing in April 2023, the group have evolved with both new energy and grounded emotion — channelling grief, connection, and defiance into every live show.
The album opens a new chapter for The Script. Tracks like “Gone” address loss with raw honesty, while others push toward hope and healing. Through it all, the Satellites World Tour isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s a signal that The Script are very much in motion — changing, adapting, and still writing their story in real time.
From sold-out openers to global stages
The Script kicked off the Satellites World Tour in the United States with a string of sold-out dates. The response was immediate — shows packed with longtime fans and first-timers alike, drawn to the band’s blend of anthemic pop and open-hearted storytelling. Their stage presence, never performative, carries the charged intimacy of a band playing with something to prove.
Now sweeping through the UK and Europe, the band will head to Australia and Asia in early 2025. In Australia, fans can expect performances in atmospheric outdoor venues — wide open skies matching the emotional scope of the setlist. In Asia, cities like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur will host the band for what are expected to be some of the most high-energy, celebratory shows of the tour.
New lineup, same emotional punch
Danny O’Donoghue remains the band’s magnetic frontman, his vocals rooted in both strength and vulnerability. Glen Power still commands the rhythm section with punch and restraint. But this tour marks the arrival of new members Benjamin Sargent and Ben Weaver — musicians who bring fresh fire without disrupting the group’s signature sound.
The additions are more than logistical. With Mark Sheehan gone, the energy had to shift — not to replace him, but to honour the space he left. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and recharged. Live renditions of staples like “Breakeven,” “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” and “Hall of Fame” now carry extra emotional weight, layered with memory and renewal.
Why Satellites lands different
Satellites isn’t a comeback record. It’s a survival record. The Script dig into themes of grief, mental health, reconnection, and persistence. It’s more stripped back than some of their earlier work — clearer, less polished, more exposed. But that’s the point. This is a band turning the page without closing the book.
Tracks like “Better Days” and “Falling Flying” carry an undercurrent of optimism, without erasing the ache that runs through the record. It’s the kind of balance only a band that’s been through real loss can deliver — a record that resonates because it doesn’t flinch from the hard parts.
Live shows that feel like home
If there’s one thing The Script continue to deliver, it’s connection. Their shows aren’t about spectacle — they’re about the emotional exchange between band and crowd. That’s why the tour resonates so deeply. Fans aren’t just watching — they’re participating in a shared catharsis, belting lyrics that have marked heartbreaks, recoveries, and everything in between.
This emotional honesty is what’s kept The Script relevant for over a decade. Their ability to evolve while staying grounded in their core message — connection through vulnerability — means their fanbase isn’t just sticking around. It’s growing.
What’s next and where to find them
The Satellites World Tour continues into 2025 with stops across Europe, Australia, and Asia. Whether you’re a longtime fan or someone who’s only just tuned in, this tour offers a rare mix of seasoned performance and raw emotion. Tickets for upcoming shows are already moving fast — especially in Southeast Asia, where the band’s following is particularly strong.
Final words on The Script World Tour
The Script World Tour isn’t a victory lap. It’s something deeper — a healing process set to music, performed night after night with honesty and heart. The addition of new members, the emotional weight of Satellites, and the band’s renewed commitment to their fans all converge in a tour that feels urgent, alive, and necessary.
