The Script are coming to Belfast this November! The Script’s phenomenal and long-lasting success has seen them achieve six UK #1 albums and eight back home in Ireland, in the process exceeding 14 billion streams, 5 million album sales, and countless international Platinum certifications led by two US Platinum singles and two US Top 10 albums. Today The Script enter a new era by sharing their new single ‘Man In The Arena’ - the first taste of their new album ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’ which follows on 14 August 2026. The Script will follow the album with a huge UK and Ireland arena tour which is coming to Belfast on Monday 2 November. James Morrison is special guest for Dublin and Belfast dates. Further global touring has also been confirmed - adding to the 4.5 million tickets they have sold in their career. ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’ follows 2024’s ‘Satellites’. It was a record that saw vocalist Danny O’Donoghue attempt to process the grief that followed the tragic passing of his bandmate and friend Mark Sheehan in 2023. The record was followed by a global arena tour in which every show paid tribute to Mark. After the tour ended, Danny found himself energised and inspired. Within a week of finishing, he was writing and recording new material with Andrew Frampton, Steve Kipner and Jimbo Barry, who between them had previously contributed to many of The Script’s huge hits, including ‘Hall Of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ and ‘Breakeven’. Recorded in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, the result is an album in which Danny has established a powerful sense of purpose and direction for the next stage of the band, full of the real, emotional, soul-deep connection that their fans have come to love. Danny says, “The title is what this album is about. If you need something to remind you of the spectrum of feelings and emotions that make you feel human, this is it.” The skyscraping ambition of ‘Man In The Arena’ lives up to its title, with a hard-hitting R&B groove suddenly bursting into a classic Script mega-chorus built for the biggest of stages: a rousing Danny O’Donoghue delivers a typically charismatic vocal, with lyrics that affirm that the person who dares to put themselves in the spotlight is infinitely braver than anyone who criticises from the sidelines. Its lyrics are taken, in part, from a famous speech by American President Theodore Roosevelt. Danny explains, “He talks about how honours don't belong to the critics. They don't belong to the people sitting on the couch, laughing at the person in the ring stumbling and falling around. The honours belong to the one who gets in there and whose face is marred with dust and blood. I remember reading it and being like: that needs to be in a tune, the energy in it is beautiful.” ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’ is now available to pre-order / pre-save. It will be available on CD and limited

Jack Savoretti Sold out

Ulster Hall · Music
Jack Savoretti is coming to Ulster Hall on 02 November 2026! Midlife suits Jack Savoretti. Now almost 20 years into his career, Jack has released 8 studio albums to date, including 2 UK number 1’s and 4 UK top 10’s; a prolific output by any standard. At 41 years of age, his forthcoming 9th studio album ‘We Will Always Be the Way We Were’, released 10th April 2026, showcases a self-acceptance that only comes with life experience. Carl Jung described mid-life as being the time when your ego becomes less of a focus and the people around you become more central to your role in life. It’s the point where you take stock and decide whether you are happy with the person you have become, the decisions you made to get there. This is where Jack Savoretti finds himself right now. Had I made this album 10 years ago, people may have seen it as a u-turn, like going backwards. But now it feels full circle- it’s a closure, a summary of everything I’ve done so far. "I went back to record it in Notting Hill, where my career started. The last two albums I made were concept albums (Europiana, Miss Italia), indulging in different sounds, they gave me that space to come back to doing an album about and of myself.” Jack has always excelled at love songs and ballads, but this album is a love letter not to a person, but to this time of life, to the beautiful middle. This can be summed up with the track ‘Do It for Love,’ written about why Jack still makes music- for the love of it. For the love of the audience, the game, the band, the freedom to create a timeless reality. It’s an affirmation in song form. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a healthy amount of self-doubt on the record too (‘Time Will Tell’, ‘Tick Tock’), but it’s the ongoing questioning we all have that reflects the universal experience of life– the ups and the downs, the beautiful moments that play out alongside the painful ones. The loss of a parent, the birth of a child… midlife throws up the most polarising of experiences. The title track ‘We Will Always Be the Way We Were’ is a song that describes the relationship with his wife of 15 years; a love letter to how everything in your life can change, but how those closest to you and your shared experiences are what see you through. It’s the perfect life anthem, so it became the perfect fit for the album title. It’s an album that sees Jack entering an elder statesman-like role, one that Jack can fill easily. An artist who never gave up his vision or compromised his craft, Jack is one of the few UK singer-songwriters from the mid-00s who is still relevant and still plying his trade. Featuring both KT Tunstall (‘Tempting Fate’), another who came up in the same scene as Jack, and new kid on the block Steph Fraser (‘Only Gonna Cry for You’), it’s a merging of eras to create a timeless sound. The sound of Jack hitting his stride.
