Irish pop-rock titans The Script have officially announced a monumental UK and Ireland arena run for autumn 2026. Dubbed the Man In The Arena Tour, the multi-platinum band will hit the road to support their upcoming ninth studio album, The User’s Guide to Being Human, which drops on August 14th.
The freshly announced headline run marks the band’s return to major arena staging following a massive summer of 2026 stadium performances as special guests to Take That and Luke Combs. Having sold more than 4.5 million tickets throughout their career, the “Hall of Fame” hitmakers are set to deliver their signature, high-energy live experience alongside a setlist packed with career-spanning anthems and brand-new material, including the roaring new title track single “Man In The Arena.”
The tour will kick off with an emotional homecoming, featuring a double-headed run at Dublin’s 3Arena across Halloween weekend. From there, the band will blanket the UK throughout November with 14 massive arena spectacles, including showstopper stops at Manchester’s Co-op Live and London’s The O2 Arena, before heading into mainland Europe. In spring 2027, the tour will go global, moving into major arena venues across Asia and Australia.
Fans who pre-order The User’s Guide to Being Human from the band’s official artist store will unlock exclusive access to the fan ticket pre-sale window. The pre-sale opens at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, May 27th, while general release tickets will become available to the public on Friday, May 29th at 9:30 AM local time.
