Review: The Script proves no stage is needed for them at Cardiff Castle
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info There's always a risk in staging an outdoor concert in Wales or anywhere in the UK, where a downpour can often be more of a guarantee than a threat. But for The Script who played Cardiff Castle on Thursday, June 26, the light rain did little to dampen spirits. Judging by the crowd, no one seemed particularly interested in being anywhere else so the weather gods may actually have been working in their favour. The Irish band has always walked an unusual line of being a touch too earnest for some people and slightly too mainstream for others. But you know deep down that there's at least one of their songs that stick in your head (and you probably know it word for word as well). Tonight, they leaned into that unapologetically and it was definitely a 10/10 experience. We were treated to a set packed with hits lie Breakeven, For the First Time and The Man Who Can't Be Moved, reaffirming why these songs have lasted so well and seem so timeless. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here They played Six Degrees of Separation too which is one of my favourite songs ever and lands so well when played live. Frontman Danny O'Donoghue was in full charismatic form, shouting early on: 'Cardiff, I know we all love to sing up here,' and the audience proved him right immediately. A standout moment was when thousands of people sang along to The Man Who Can't Be Moved in the pouring rain. (Image: Bethany Gavaghan) Danny also invited a young girl named Maia onto the stage and guided her to press a key on the piano, letting her sit next to him at the piano and telling her he was dedicating a song to her. But the most surprising part of the evening came during Nothing as Danny left the stage entirely and walked deep into the crowd, singing as he moved. I felt slightly on edge for him (as did his security I'm sure), but it worked so well and the crowd was incredible, with no one I could see screaming or pushing forward at all - possibly because everyone was also just super stunned. I've always been slightly envious of people who got to experience the music scene in the 80s and 90s when artists seemed a bit more relaxed about security when crowd surfing or walking through the audience felt almost routine, so I definitely appreciated getting an insight into that world even if it was just for the night. The show hit its peak energy with Paint the Town Green. The mood switched quickly from nostalgic to celebratory. Addressing the crowd before singing Hall of fame, Danny said: 'The story's about making moments you take to your grave. So when you're standing in front of God, you can say: this is what I did.' Closing with the famous track, Danny framed it as a dedication to 'anyone going through something right now', and the Cardiff crowd knew every word. S With a heartfelt thank you to his Welsh fans and taking a bow with the rest of the band, the Irish singer even draped a Welsh flag around his shoulders which got some almighty cheers and whoops from the crowd, who it's safe to say loved every second of the gig.
