Today, The Script have unveiled their latest album, Satellites, marking a powerful new chapter for the Irish band that continues to resonate with fans worldwide. Already celebrated for their record-breaking success—six UK #1 albums, sold-out global tours, and over 10 billion streams that earned them a recent BRITs Billion Award—The Script remain one of Ireland’s biggest musical exports. Now, Satellites offers a fresh take on their signature sound, blending energetic anthems with emotional depth, a combination that has fueled their international appeal.

With Satellites, The Script amplify their sonic palette, delivering a collection that accelerates their pulse with high-energy tracks while also diving deeper into poignant storytelling. This is particularly evident in songs like "Unsaid," a pure pop burst that makes its mark in just over two minutes, and the joyful, fast-paced "Run Run Run." However, the album’s emotional core is perhaps best represented by "Gone," a moving tribute from frontman Danny O'Donoghue to his late friend and bandmate, Mark Sheehan. The song, both defiant and celebratory, poignantly observes, “Why do stars that shine twice as bright only burn for half as long?”

Another standout track, "Home Is Where The Hurt Is," showcases The Script's ability to transform personal pain into a collective catharsis. With stadium-scale rock energy, the song delves into memories often kept locked away, allowing both the band and their fans to confront emotional scars in a bold, communal release. The central lyric, "Ohana ohana, no one left behind, we’re broken in pieces but the pieces are mine,” embodies this spirit, using the Hawaiian concept of 'ohana'—a family where no one is left behind—as a powerful metaphor for resilience.

Beyond these highlights, Satellites also explores themes of anxiety and depression, notably on "Inside Out," while its title track—co-written by Mark Sheehan—offers a folk-infused ballad that brings a fitting conclusion to an album steeped in personal growth and reflection. Collectively, the album confirms that The Script may never be the same after the loss of Sheehan, but, as the album cover suggests, their journey continues with renewed purpose. As Danny O'Donoghue explains, “We're just trying to get on and do what it is that we all feel is the next right thing to do, and that’s to keep making more great music.”

Satellites is available now, with multiple formats including a limited edition hardback book CD, black vinyl, and standard CD. Fans can also find limited edition white vinyl, cassette versions, and new merchandise through The Script’s official store.

As they promote the new album, The Script are in the midst of a massive world tour, performing 35 stadium shows with P!nk and playing to over 2 million people by year’s end. The demand for tickets has been phenomenal, with their UK and European headline tour selling out arenas months in advance. Recently, six intimate album launch shows in Bristol, Sheffield, and Kingston sold out almost immediately, showcasing the enduring popularity of the band. Their North American headline tour is also underway, with newly announced 2025 dates set to take them to Australia, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

For fans eager to catch The Script live, limited tickets remain for select dates. Visit their official site for full details and updates.

The Script's Satellites signals a bold new direction for the band, reaffirming their status as one of Ireland's most successful musical acts while offering a deeper, more reflective look at their journey. As they continue to create music that resonates on both an intimate and grand scale, their legacy only grows stronger.
