The Script are heading back to Australia, and for Irish music fans across Queensland, it promises to be another emotional singalong with one of Ireland’s biggest musical success stories.

Irish pop-rock favourites The Script have announced their return for a three-city Australian arena tour in March 2027, marking their twelfth headline tour Down Under and another chapter in the long love affair between Australian audiences and the Dublin band.

Fronted by Danny O’Donoghue, the group have built a huge following through songs such as Breakeven, Hall of Fame, The Man Who Can’t Be Moved and Superheroes, becoming one of Ireland’s most successful music exports of the modern era. Across their career they have achieved six UK number one albums, eight chart-topping albums in Ireland and billions of streams worldwide.

The Australian tour arrives as the band enters a new era with their upcoming album The User’s Guide To Being Human, due for release in August. Fans have already had a taste through new single Man In The Arena.

The band’s recent journey has also carried emotional weight. Following the tragic death of founding guitarist Mark Sheehan in 2023, the group’s music has reflected themes of grief, resilience and moving forward.

“Most people will never fully understand the relationship I have with words and music. It’s how I process everything,” said Danny.

“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.”

Queensland fans will have the chance to see the Irish favourites when they play Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 23 March, before the band heads to Melbourne and Sydney.
