THE LIVE SHOW
What The Script concerts are like
A Script concert is emotional and full of singalongs. Danny O'Donoghue works the crowd constantly, often walking out into the audience, while the band plays Breakeven, For the First Time, Superheroes and The Man Who Can't Be Moved.
Hall of Fame usually closes the night with the whole venue singing. There are quiet, acoustic moments, and the band talks openly about Mark Sheehan and what the fans have meant to them. The Man Who Can't Be Moved is often a quiet singalong, and the band keeps the energy high between the ballads.
Tips for the Manchester show
- Watch the aisles; Danny often walks through the crowd.
- Stay for Hall of Fame at the end.
New to the music? Science & Faith and #3 hold most of their biggest songs.
