After adding band members Ben Sargeant and Ben Weaver to their official line-up earlier this month, The Script have now announced their long awaited new studio album, Satellites – set to be released on August 16. To coincide with the news, they've shared the project's lead single, 'Both Ways'.

It will be The Script's first album since the death of founding member Mark Sheehan in April 2023. Their previous album, Sunsets & Full Moons, was released in 2019.

According to their website, the new album sees the Irish band "reemerge with undeniable confidence." You can pre-order Satellites here.

This morning also finds The Script sharing news of an upcoming tour of Ireland, the UK and Europe, which kicks off at Belfast's SSE Arena (November 13), followed by a show at Dublin's 3Arena (November 15).

Tickets go on sale next Friday, May 24, at 9.30am.

They'll be joined for the majority of the dates, including the Irish shows, by special guest Tom Walker.
