The shows – on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 14, 15 and 16 – are part of the band’s UK and European arena tour.
Vowing to pay tribute to their friend and fellow band member Mark Sheehan, who died in April last year, Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power returned to the studio together.
What emerged is Satellites, an uplifting collection of songs that forges a new future for The Script while remembering “the air of Mark is still there”.
“The album cover is silhouettes of me, Glen and Ben Sargeant, our bassist, who’s been with us from the beginning,” Danny said.
“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.”
Glen Power added: “We’re The Script, and now we have something to prove: that there is life and light after the darkness.”

How do I get to the 3Arena?
Traveling to 3Arena couldn’t be easier. Situated in the heart of Dublin’s docklands, it is very well served by public transport.
Irish Rail Dart or inter-city services will bring you to Connolly or Heuston Station, from where you can hop on the Luas straight to the 3Arena.
There are extra trams on show nights to cater for the large numbers travelling to and from the venue. A full schedule and live information are available on www.luas.ie.
Dublin Bus offers a high frequency and accessible service from all over Dublin to within a 20-minute walk of the 3Arena.
The 151 route runs every 10 minutes during rush hour and will leave you on Castleforbes Road, the closest stop to the venue, just a two-minute walk away. The last bus departs Castleforbes Road at 23.15pm Monday to Saturday.
For anyone driving, there is limited car parking available in The Point Village car park, but this car park is not run by 3Arena.
With large numbers gathering on show nights traffic congestion can delay your arrival and departure so it’s encouraged to use public transport where possible.
What else should I be aware of?
3Arena is a fully cashless venue and the maximum bag size limit is 40cm x 40cm x 20cm. Large rucksacks, luggage or oversized bags are not permitted. Under-16s to be accompanied by an adult and standing is strictly over-14s.
