Irish rockers The Script return to Australia, and perform at Metro City in Perth on Tuesday 22 September 2009.
The last twelve months have seen The Script burst from relative obscurity onto the world’s stage, where they’ve quickly established themselves as one of 2009’s most promising bands. Singles ‘We Cry’ and ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ have seen The Script begin to carve a name for themselves Down Under, but it wasn’t until the release of ‘Breakeven’ that the boys truly took a hold of the Australian public, peaking at #3 on the ARIA chart and #1 on radio airplay.
Special guest Wes Carr.
Tickets on sale Monday 29 June from Ticketek.
18+ show.
