The rain didn’t dampen spirits at The Piece Hall in Halifax on Monday night as Tom Walker took to the stage to open for The Script. With steady drizzle falling and a sea of ponchos in the crowd, Walker delivered a powerful, emotionally charged set that more than held its own in the challenging conditions. His unmistakable voice and heartfelt lyrics struck a chord with the audience from the first note, setting a high standard for the night.
Taking to the stage to a roar of applause, The Script wasted no time in reminding the Halifax crowd why they’ve remained one of the UK’s most beloved live acts. Frontman Danny O'Donoghue was in fine voice, effortlessly leading the audience through a hit-packed set that spanned their two-decade career. From the anthemic Hall of Fame to the emotional weight of If You Could See Me Now, the band struck a perfect balance between energy and intimacy. Rain continued to fall, but it only added to the atmosphere as thousands sang along, unfazed and fully immersed in every moment.
