Satellites is the seventh studio album by Irish pop rock group the Script, released on 16 August 2024 through BMG Rights Management. It is their first album released by the band after Mark Sheehan's death in April 2023 from a brief illness, and it is also their first album as a quartet with two new members: Benjamin Sargeant and Ben Weaver, who were previously only touring members. On 9 May 2024, the band announced on X that Weaver and Sargeant would be joining the band as their bassist and lead guitarist individually as they felt being a trio "would never be the same".
Two singles were released from the album: "Both Ways" on 17 May 2024 and "At Your Feet" on 19 July 2024. The album was debuted at number one on the Irish Albums Chart and at number two on the UK Albums Chart.
To promote the album, the band are embarking on the Satellites World Tour from 2024 to 2025. The tour began in the United States, where they are an opening act for Pink alongside Gayle, KidCutUp, and Sheryl Crow on her Summer Carnival Tour, and will also travel through Europe, Australia and Asia.[1] [2]
