Four giant curtains drop from the back of The SSE Hydro to form a cage like structure around a second stage, which we soon discover will be where The Script are starting their set from this evening.
The lights go out and the curtains drop to reveal the band on the B stage at the back of the arena as they launch into "Superheroes". They remain on this stage to perform "Rock The World" and "Paint The Town Green", the latter complete with canons firing green confetti at the end of the song.
Rather than trying to sneakily make their way across to the main stage, the band head through the crowd, much to the enjoyment of all present.
One thing which strikes us right away is how interactive The Script are with their audience. They thrive off their energy and take every opportunity to get them involved.
We get an acoustic start to "The Man Who Can't Be Moved", with frontman Danny O'Donoghue perching himself on the edge of the stage and leaning out to get even closer to the audience before the full band kick in with him.
New tune "Arms Open" showcases Danny's outstanding vocals, with him removing his jacket and launching it into the crowd at the end of the song.
