Their most recent visit was in 2025 for the Satellites World Tour, where they once again drew enthusiastic crowds. During an appearance on <a href="http://itsshowtime.abs-cbn.com">It&#x27;s Showtime</a>, frontman Danny O&#x27;Donoghue shared why the band keeps coming back to the Philippines. &quot;You know what? It&#x27;s the people. Because the place is so beautiful, but the people are so welcoming. We have an amazing time every time we&#x27;re here. We just want to keep coming back again,&quot; he said, adding that Filipino food is also great.  Despite the Manila concerts still being months away, Danny emphasized how much the Philippines means to the band and how they continue to strengthen their connection with local fans. “The Philippines means a lot to us,” he said in another interview. “We are trying to get bigger and better over here every time.” <div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1364077745580607%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>He added that the band intentionally announced the concerts well in advance to give fans enough time to prepare, especially as they continue to expand their performances in the country. “We love this place. We feel at home a lot here,” he said. “When you go to a concert in other countries, everybody sings, but not everybody sings in tune,” he joked. “But over here, it’s like you’ve hired a choir because everybody is in unison.“Everybody is so good at karaoke and singing. You kinda hear the accent come out though even in crowd singing, so it’s very fun,” he added with a laugh. After announcing their upcoming album, The User’s Guide To Being Human, Danny also teased what fans can expect from the band&#x27;s return to Manila, saying concertgoers can look forward to a more theatrical and immersive live experience compared to their previous Philippine shows. The Script has been famous among Filipino fans, with their songs “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Breakeven” being some of their mega-hits loved by many.
