With their recent album Freedom Child launching to No.1 on the UK Official Album Chart, seeing off the likes of LCD Soundsystem and OMD, The Script have announced two more dates on their UK and Ireland arena tour dates.

Their new music has also seen them top the iTunes chart in their native Ireland, as well as a further 13 countries. It’s broken into the Top 10 on iTunes in 47 other markets across the globe.

Their UK and Ireland tour will kick off in Leeds on the 2 February 2018, totalling thirteen dates including two at Dublin’s 3Arena. They’ll wrap up the run with two headline shows at London’s O2 Arena on the 23 February.

The extra dates will take place at the Bournemouth International Centre on Thursday 22 February 2018, and a second date at London’s O2 on Saturday 24 February 2018.
