The Script soon return to South Africa touring in support of their latest album, Freedom Child. They perform in Cape Town on 2 May at Grand Arena, GrandWest, and 4 May, 2018 in Pretoria at Sun Arena at Time Square.
The Script have sold over 29 million records. The Irish three-piece have scored three multi-platinum albums, all of which were #1 in the UK. The Script have also picked up a huge following in the US where they have four platinum selling singles under their belt. They are also one of the biggest live bands, having sold over 1.4 million tickets across 203 headline shows and they sold out legendary Croke Park stadium in their hometown in minutes.
The Man Who Can’t Be Moved
The Script, who Toured SA twice with sold out tours (2011, 2015), consist of Danny O’Donoghue (vocals), Mark Sheehan (guitar) and Glen Power (drums). After reaching number 15 in the charts with their 2008 debut single We Cry, their second single The Man Who Can’t Be Moved peaked at number two. Their debut album The Script was released in 2008, and went straight to number one on iTunes, both in Ireland and the UK.
Their new album Freedom Child has topped the UK Official Albums Chart, seeing off competition from LCD Soundsystem and OMD. The #1 sees The Script score their fourth UK #1 album. Freedom Child also topped the iTunes chart in their native Ireland, as well as a further 13 countries. They also entered the Top 10 on iTunes in 47 markets around the globe.
The band have said of their Number 1 album win, “You guys may never understand how happy we are to have achieved our 4th number 1 album. You see, we’ve worked so hard on it and ultimately the fans decided whether it’s a strong album or not. We’re so so lucky and are humbled by it.”
Freedom Child sees the band presenting a collection of future-facing anthems that speak of both real-life events and sonic adventurism. The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles and they chose to work with outside writers and producers including Toby Gad and Nasri Atweh. The follow up to 2014’s No Sound Without Silence can be purchased/streamed: http://smarturl.it/FreedomChild.
The first single from Freedom Child, Rain, was added to playlists up and down the country and stormed straight into the Top 10 on iTunes. Rain has been playlisted by Radio 1, Radio 2, Capital as well as 947 and 94.5 KFM in South Africa and is currently the 3rd most played song on national radio. It’s also been added to over 300 playlists on Spotify and the video has already been viewed over 10 million times (see it here).
