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 lyrics reference friends that fell out in 1993 and by chance bump into each other at the Oasis reunion gigs, 30+ years later. Listen HERE. Watch the video HERE.
Danny O’Donoghue says, “I'm a huge Oasis fan. Always have been. But I don't think Liam and Noel knew the full impact of what they were doing when they got back together. Because a lot of their fanbase, they're lads, middle-aged guys, and a lot of them have a similar scenario where they're not talking to a brother or a friend, and they're trying to be a man's man about it. The Gallaghers reuniting put into the zeitgeist the idea that forgiveness is cool again. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I saw them walking out with their hands together. If two of the most notorious people for being at loggerheads can overcome their differences, anything's possible!”
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.
