Irish group The Script has a beautiful love affair with South Africa. The country is one of the biggest supporters of the group and the group makes sure that they continue bringing exciting live experiences to fans around the country. They’ve toured the country twice before so it’s no surprise that they’ve included South Africa on the 2018 leg of their upcoming tour in support of their just-released new album ‘Freedom Child’. The group will perform live in Cape Town and Pretoria in May 2018 in what promises to be a show-stopping event.
The Script are one of the world’s most successful bands and have sold over 29 million records. The group is also one of the biggest live bands, having sold over 1.4 million tickets across 203 headline shows and they sold out the legendary Croke Park stadium in their hometown in a matter of minutes.
Their new album ‘Freedom Child’ has topped the UK Official Albums Chart. ‘Freedom Child’ sees the band presenting a collection of urgent, timely, future-facing anthems that speak of both real-life events and real-time sonic adventurism. Although the album has been met with mixed reviews, the songs are well-written and Danny O’Donoghue delivers yet another fantastic vocal performance.
In South Africa, the album burst onto the South African iTunes chart at number 16 while the album’s lead single ‘Rain’ has been playlisted on stations such as 947, KFM, East Coast Radio, Algoa FM, 5FM and Jacaranda FM.
