Band writing a new Script with 2013 tour

After laying down more US roots on a November tour, the band will write a whole new Script next year when they step into the spotlight for 12 arena dates, kicking off in Ireland at The O2 Dublin on March 1 and 2 (both shows are sold out) and Belfast’s Odyssey Arena.

The Script, due to phenomenal demand, sold out the March 4 date in Belfast and tickets are now on sale for Tuesday March 5.

So much has changed for The Script - Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power - since they released their first album four years ago: they broke Britain, then the States, then everywhere from Asia to South Africa.

Along the way, they’ve toured with U2, Take That and Paul McCartney, sailed through the second album syndrome that sinks so many bands, played to a 55,000-strong crowd at an historic hometown show in Dublin, amassed almost four million followers on Facebook and 1.5 million on Twitter, sold four million albums, nine million singles, and saw their singer star Danny O’Donoghue on TV talent show The Voice UK.

Tickets are on sale for the tour now from all Ticketmaster outlets.
