Travis will play a second round of UK dates in celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Man Who at the end of this year.
The tour is detailed after the band picked up the Audience Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival for their documentary Almost Fashionable – A Film About Travis, which is notable for being helmed by Wyndham Wallace; a journalist who has never hidden his dislike for the band in the past.
“Wyndham is a very charming man and a very good writer but, mostly the reason he was there covering our trip was because he wasn’t the biggest fan of the band, ” Fran Healy explains.
“I thought a documentary from this unusual angle would be a lot more interesting than one from a journalist who was a fan. As it turns out, I was right.”
