Travis is acclaimed to have paved the way for bands such as Keane and Coldplay, together shaping contemporary rock scene.
The band released their debut album “Good Feeling” in 1997. Having captured a great attention for a newbie band, the album debuted at number 9 on UK Albums Charts. However, the band really enjoyed success with the release of their second album “The Man Who” in 1999 which immediately debuted at number 1 on UK Albums Chart and stayed for consequent nine weeks. Having stayed in Top 100 for a total of 134 weeks, Travis sold 2.68 million copies of the album solely in the UK.
Travis released their third album “The Invisible Band” in 2001. As successful as “The Man Who”, the album debuted at number 1 at the UK Albums Chart and stayed for consequent four weeks. Completed 55 weeks at Top 100, Travis’ songs started to spread across the world. “The Invisible Band” peaked at number 39 at US Billboard 200, spreading Travis word across the US.

“Songs are like emotional bookmarks in time,” Fran Healy said. “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’ is going to be a joyous occasion.” Travis will perform 19 year old album “The Man Who” and other unforgettable hits like “Sing”, “Why Does It Always Rain On Me?”, “Closer” and “Side” alongside with their amazing live performance.
