The Script - The Man In The Arena Tour

The Man In The Arena Tour brings The Script, the Dublin rock band, to Co-op Live in Manchester, with James Morrison also among the artists on the bill.

The Script is an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 2007, whose music combines pop rock and alternative rock with pop elements. Their best-known songs include "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "Breakeven". Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan are central to the group, which has built its sound on guitar-led rock songs.

James Morrison is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist born in Rugby in 1984, whose music draws on neo soul, soul and rock. His debut album, Undiscovered, was released in 2006 on Polydor Records. Premium Experiences is also associated with the night.

Co-op Live is a concert and performance venue in Manchester. The evening will appeal to listeners who follow pop rock and alternative rock, as well as those drawn to soul-leaning singer-songwriting, since the two acts draw on different strands of guitar-based music.
