The Script have announced a free concert for HSE/NHS frontline staff and primary care workers (including nurses, doctors, cleaners, porters, ambulance staff) performing a career-spanning set on February 9, 2021 at Dublin’s 3Arena.
Those eligible for tickets will be all frontline HSE/NHS staff and Primary Care workers across the island of Ireland.
Speaking about the announcement, the band said: "We've always been huge supporters of those working on the frontline of our health care.
"They make sacrifices day in and day out, working harder than anyone. Not only to make sure we have access to resources in order for us to continue to live happy and healthy lives, but to also help us and our loved ones through some of the hardest points in our lives.
"The very least for us to do in order to give back to their amazing sacrifices during this pandemic is getting to put on a free show for 13,000 HSE and NHS staff at the 3Arena in Dublin.
"We can't thank them enough for their continued service to everyone, much more now than ever.
"Danny, Mark & Glen x"
The news comes as dozens of gigs have been cancelled or postponed over the next few months.
Despite this, artists and promoters are looking ahead to 2021, with those cancelled dates being rescheduled.
Ticket applications for The Script's concert can only be made by the eligible frontline staff (HSE/NHS staff, Primary Care staff), who are then required to bring their valid staff I.D card (original format, no photocopies) to the show, as ticket checks will be in operation.
Tickets will be limited to 2 per person (eligible HSE/NHS, Primary Care and one guest) and will be available online only, via https://www.ticketmaster.ie/venueartist/197033/1290672 from Tuesday April 7, 2020 at 7pm.
