The Script Release New Studio Album, 'Satellites'
While touring the world, Irish alternative rock band The Script have released their seventh studio album. It's called Satellites and was dropped on Friday, August 16.
The new album is notable for being the band’s first record following co-founder Mark Sheehan’s passing in 2023. The Script have decided to continue making music as a 4-piece band instead. The lead single of the LP, “Both Ways” was released on May 17, 2024.

Lead singer Danny O'Donaghue recently explained the meaning of the black and white album cover. "The album cover is silhouettes of me, Glen and Ben Sargeant, our bassist, who’s been with us from the beginning," he told Only Massive. "Then we have a hooded silhouette, because the air of Mark is still there. He always will be, but it’s also giving a tip of the hat to the future. It’ll never be the same Script. We’re just trying to get on and do what it is that we all feel is the next right thing to do and that’s to keep making more great music."
To support Satellites, The Script are embarking on a headlining world tour. They're currently hitting up venues in North America until November, when they will be switching to locations in the UK and Ireland. Once December hits, they'll be playing in other European countries (France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy) before doing some January shows in Australia. The rest of 2025 sees them playing shows in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. You can see all their remaining tour dates here.
While playing at smaller venues, The Script is also opening up for P!nk during her Summer Carnival stadium tour. They recently supported her during her homecoming Philadelphia show, where they made an announcement about Satellites to the crowd after finishing up their set.
The Script was formed in 2001 and released their debut self-titled album in 2008. They saw plenty of success in the early 2010's with hits like "Breakeven" and "For the First Time." Frontman Danny O'Donoghue was also a coach on The Voice UK for seasons 1 and 2, before leaving the show in order to focus more on the band.
