Following their performance at On Blackheath last September and nigh on twenty years since the release of The Man Who, Travis have announced a full tour of the UK when they’ll be playing their second album in full.
The tour is split into two parts, starting in June with shows in Liverpool, London, Folkestone, Plymouth, Brighton, Ipswich, Birmingham and Oxford. They’ll then be back in December for another run which ends at the SEE Hydro in Glasgow. “Songs are like emotional bookmarks in time,” Fran Healy says.
“When you hear a song you are transported to those times and feel strong echoes of the feelings you felt. Rarely does an album have this ability so performing ‘The Man Who’ once again will be a joy!”
Propelled by a succession of hit singles, in particular Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, Travis rode the acoustic-led soundtrack of the early millennium to enjoy 11 weeks at number one with The Man Who and a 2000 Glastonbury headline appearance.
