The Dublin band behind “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Hall of Fame” bring the Man In The Arena Tour and a new album to Greenwich.
The Script, the Dublin band behind “Hall of Fame”, bring the Man In The Arena Tour to The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Saturday 21 November 2026. It is their only London night behind a new studio album.
Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and drummer Glen Power formed the band in 2001. They moved to London on signing to Sony’s Phonogenic imprint.
Their 2008 debut, carrying “We Cry”, “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Breakeven”, went to number one in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Science & Faith, #3 and No Sound Without Silence each topped the charts in both countries. Their 2012 single with will.i.am gave them a first British number one.
Sheehan died in April 2023, aged 46. Satellites, in 2024, was the band’s first record without him, and this year’s The User’s Guide to Being Human names the tour through its single “Man In The Arena”.
O’Donoghue now leads a line-up with Power, bassist Benjamin Sargeant and guitarist Ben Weaver through seven studio albums.
The O2 last hosted them in 2024, on the tour for Satellites. This date brings the songs from the new album to a London stage for the first time.
