It looks like The Script just can’t get enough of the Philippines!

Following a sell-out success for their first two concert dates (March 18 and 19, 2027), the Irish band has officially added a third show on March 20, 2027, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

Tickets for the new date will go on sale on Saturday, June 13, at 10 a.m. via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide.

The news follows frontman Danny O’Donoghue’s recent visit to Manila to promote the upcoming world tour.

During his stay, O’Donoghue treated fans by filming a special street performance of their iconic hit The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. He also made appearances on It's Showtime, Unang Hirit, and the Wish 107.5 Bus.

At his Manila press conference, O’Donoghue pointed out the striking similarities between the Irish and Filipinos.

"We love drinking. We love heartbreak. We love songs. We love karaoke. We're kind of brothers from another mother," he shared. "You guys love to show your feelings, you're not scared of getting up, and, you know, arm-in-arm you go to concerts with your best friends."

As for what fans can expect in 2027? O’Donoghue teased a groundbreaking, highly visual production.

"We're experimenting with micro-dramas and bringing songs to life," he explained. "Every visual that you see will make you feel like you're in a live music video... We're gonna double down on that for this tour."

"The Man in the Arena Tour" will feature a mix of the band's legendary anthems—including Hall of Fame, Breakeven, Superheroes, and For the First Time—alongside tracks from their upcoming album, The User’s Guide To Being Human.
