IT’S OFFICIAL: THE SCRIPT TAKE OVER
THE SBC SUMMIT OPENING PARTY
THE SBC SUMMIT OPENING PARTY
Mark it down. Tuesday. Day One.
As SBC Summit throws open its doors for another unmissable edition, one name is about to make the Opening Party the hottest ticket in the industry: THE SCRIPT.
Yes, that Script. The Irish trio behind some of the biggest anthems of the last two decades.
Three UK #1 albums. Global sales in the tens of millions. The voices behind “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” “Breakeven,” and “Hall of Fame.” Songs that have soundtracked stadiums, festivals, and now, SBC Summit.
Every year, SBC Summit sets the stage for the industry’s biggest conversations. This year, it’s setting the stage for something else entirely. Day One ends on an entirely different level. Thousands of attendees, one legendary stage, and a band that knows how to turn a room into a chorus.
Don’t be the one who missed it.

Originally designed by Portuguese architects Carlos and Guilherme Rebelo de Andrade for the 1922 International Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Pavilhão Carlos Lopes began life as a showcase of Portuguese innovation and craftsmanship on the world stage.
Following the exhibition, the structure was dismantled, transported across the Atlantic, and reconstructed in Lisbon, where it opened as the Palace of Exhibitions in 1932.
Over the decades, the venue became an important part of Lisbon’s cultural and sporting heritage, hosting major exhibitions, international competitions, and a wide range of public events. In 1984, it was renamed in honour of Carlos Lopes, whose marathon victory at the Los Angeles Olympics secured Portugal’s first-ever Olympic gold medal.
Following an extensive restoration completed in 2017, Pavilhão Carlos Lopes has been transformed into one of Lisbon’s most distinctive event venues.
