Irish pop-rock band The Script is set to make a grand return to the Philippines, promising a “bigger and better” production for the Manila leg of their “Man In The Arena Tour” on March 18, 2027, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
The concert comes on the heels of the announcement of their upcoming album, The User’s Guide To Being Human. Frontman Danny O’Donoghue revealed that the band is stepping away from traditional staging to deliver a more theatrical and immersive concert experience for their Filipino fans.
“We have a brand new album out, ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human,’ which by that time, fingers crossed, will be a hit,” O’Donoghue said during an interview. “We are putting a lot more on the stage craft because everybody knows when they come to see us, it’s a sing-along moment.”
Driven by the evolving landscape of live music, the singer-songwriter shared that the trio plans to incorporate a storytelling element into their upcoming arena show.
“I wanna do some narratives because I feel like live music is moving towards a little bit more theater, more of a show. We got a few surprises and we can’t wait,” he added.
Presented by Wilbros Live and Midas Promotions, the highly anticipated concert marks another chapter in the band’s long-standing relationship with their Manila audience. Tickets for the show will officially go on sale on Friday, May 29, at 9:30 a.m. through all SM Tickets outlets nationwide.
