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 to feature their bassist Benjamin Sargent who joined the band in May 2024, while lead guitarist Ben Weaver joined the band shortly after the recording has been completed. To date, "Satellites" is the Script’s last studio album to be recorded as a trio.
Three singles were released from the album: "Both Ways" on 17 May 2024, "At Your Feet" on 19 July 2024 and "Inside Out" on 7 March 2025. 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.
