Their ability to blend heartfelt lyrics with powerful melodies has garnered them a devoted global fan base, making them the perfect guests joining The Script on their Australian tour!

The Man In The Arena Tour with special guests Picture This marks The Script’s TWELFTH Australian headline tour with Frontier Touring which plays at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 23 March then onto Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on Thursday 25 March before a final stop at Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney on Saturday 27 March.

In further news, The Script today release the new upbeat track, ‘The Crowd Was Singing Wonderwall’ (out now via BMG Australia, listen HERE) – the second single off their new album The User’s Guide To Being Human (out Friday 14 August via BMG Australia, pre order HERE).

‘The Crowd Was Singing Wonderwall’ fuses The Script’s gift for larger-than-life, stadium-filling singalong choruses and the anthemic swagger of indie-rock. The song is a towering ode to nostalgia as a superpower, about the fraying and re-braiding of lifelong friendships. It was inspired by the stadium-sized communal joy that gripped the world last year during Oasis’s Live ’25 tour.

The Script fired up this new era by releasing the first single ‘Man In The Arena’ (listen HERE). Recorded in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, the The User’s Guide To Being Human album saw Danny O’Donoghue reunite with Andrew Frampton, Steve Kipner and Jimbo Barry, whose collective previous credits include The Script’s hits ‘Hall Of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ and ‘Breakeven’.

Both songs show that The Script are primed to continue their phenomenal success, which has seen them land numerous #1 albums (six in the UK, eight in Ireland), two US Top 10 albums, 14 billion streams and 5 million sales. In Australia, The Script have achieved five Top 10 ARIA Albums and released nine Platinum plus certified ARIA singles across their extensive career.

The Script have just completed a huge UK and Ireland stadium tour as special guests to Take That and will now play four major outdoor shows with Luke Combs which includes Ireland’s Slane Castle during which they will play to a combined audience of 1.3 million people. Their huge arena tour in support of the new album will then travel across Ireland, the UK and Europe in October and November, before heading to Asia and Australia in 2027 – adding to the 4.5 million tickets that they have already sold during their career.

About Picture This

Representing music’s biggest global underdog story, Picture This have unassumingly captivated listeners in every corner of the world. The band have amassed over 450 million total streams, sold out stadiums including a five-night stand at Dublin’s 3Arena, headlining Electric Picnic’s Main Stage and inspiring praise from Billboard, ThisSongIsSick, and many more.

Emerging from Ireland with a cinematic pop rock style of their own, the band’s 2017 self-tilted full-length debut album kicked off a history-making run. In Ireland, it went triple-platinum, clinched #1 on Ireland’s Overall Chart for four weeks, and topped the Streaming Chart for seven weeks. Since then, Picture This have released albums MDRN LV in 2019 and Life in Colour in 2021, both reaching #1 on the Irish charts.

The band released Parked Car Conversations album in 2024, marking a new chapter in the journey of Picture This and cementing their status as genre-defying trailblazers in the world of music. 2026 has seen the release of Picture This and Michael Schulte with ‘Giants’ and a 3-track Live and Acoustic EP.
