Hotels for The Script - The Man In The Arena Tour

An arena show from a band that built its career on radio-ready choruses and singalong hooks, this is the kind of night where the crowd carries as much of the melody as the stage does. Friday evening timing makes it an easy one to build a night around, doors open early enough for a proper dinner beforehand without any rush.

Expect a setlist heavy on the songs that soundtracked weddings, road trips and nights out for the best part of two decades, played with the kind of arena-scale sound that studio versions only hint at.

On the revitalised Dublin docklands, the 3Arena is Ireland's premier indoor venue, drawing global music tours, comedy and family shows to the banks of the Liffey. The surrounding Point Village area is modern, with waterside bars and restaurants nearby and the city centre a short journey away. The Luas red line stops right outside, running straight into the heart of Dublin. Booking a room in the centre or docklands lets you enjoy the city before a show and hop back on the tram afterwards.
