The Science & Faith Tour was a world tour by Irish alternative rock band The Script. The tour supported their second album Science & Faith which was released on 13 September 2010.

Background

The tour began to a sell-out crowd at The University of Liverpool on 11 September 2010 and was followed by a six date theatre tour of The United Kingdom. The band then put on two shows in Australia, one in Sydney and the other in Melbourne. On 19 October 2010 the band began the first North American leg of the tour in San Diego's House of Blues. The first North American tour which visited The United States only ended in Boston's House of Blues. On 4 December 2010 the band took part in The Jingle Bell Ball in London's O2 Arena alongside artists including Black Eyed Peas and Nicole Scherzinger. Following this they played a very special intimate show at Dublin's Olympia Theatre. The show took place at midnight directly after a show by Imelda May.

On 30 January 2011 the first full European leg took place, starting in Cologne, Germany before moving onto France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal and finally Ireland where they played their first arena shows. The band announced three dates in Dublin, Belfast and Killarney, however, within minutes of these shows going on sale, they sold out and resulted in four more dates being added including two more in Dublin and one each in Belfast and Killarney. Within 45 minutes of the bands original seven Irish shows going on sale they had sold in excess of 60,000 tickets.[1]

The band later announced that they would return to The UK in March 2011, this time playing arenas. Tickets for the eleven date tour sold out, resulting in a second London show being added, this time at the world famous Wembley Arena. The band returned to Australia in April 2011 to perform their biggest headline shows to date in the country. A short Asian leg took place in April also, taking in Singapore, Hong Kong and Manila. Towards the end of April the band announced they would take part in the VH1 Best Cruise Ever along with Maroon 5, Train and Colbie Caillat. Asia| A second North American leg began in May 2011 at The Warfield in San Francisco. They also visited Canada for the first time on this tour, performing at Toronto's Kool Haus. This leg finished at New York's Rockefeller Center. In June the band played their first festivals of the year at The Isle of Wight Festival and the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands. A South African leg took place in June in which the band performed in Cape Town and Johannesburg, with the latter concert attended by 18,000 people.[2]

On 2 July the band performed at Dublin's Aviva Stadium before their largest audience to date, a crowd of approximately 50,000,[2] This show was titled Homecoming. It was later announced that the show will be recorded for DVD release, a release date has not yet been announced. The band took part in numerous festival around Europe in July 2011 playing at the world famous festival Oxegen in Ireland. They also played T in the Park in Scotland and the V Festial in England. It was announced that the band would perform at the returning Tennents ViTal with Two Door Cinema Club and Ellie Goulding as supporting acts. The final and biggest North American leg began in Minneapolis with a further thirty dates in Canada and the US. A short Asian leg also took place between 12 to 18 November before the band performed at Christmas Balls across the US in December 2011, ending the Science & Faith Tour in Atlanta on 13 December 2011.
