TRAVIS ANNOUNCE ‘THE MAN WHO‘ LIVE DATES
Following their triumphant headline show at On Blackheath Festival last September and due to popular demand, Travis, one of Britainโs best loved bands play their classic album โThe Man Whoโ live in full for two limited runs this June & December, including Londonโs Royal Festival Hall on 12th June.
Released 19 years ago, โThe Man Whoโ sounds as fresh today as it did then. One of the most successful British albums of the last 20 years, it spawned the timeless singles, โWriting To Reach Youโ, โDriftwoodโ, โTurnโ and possibly the bandโs most iconic song, โWhy Does It Always Rain On Meโ.
โSongs are like emotional bookmarks in time,โ Fran Healy said. โWhen 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 โThe Man Whoโ once again will be a joy!โ
Produced by Nigel Godrich, โThe Man Whoโ spent an astonishing 11 weeks at Number 1, selling nearly three million copies. It was the biggest selling UK album in 2000, propelled by an incendiary Glastonbury performance in the rain! Recognition quickly followed including Ivor Novello Awards for โBest Songwriterโ & โBest Contemporary Songโ for โWhy Does It Always Rain On Me?โ and BRIT Awards for โBest British Bandโ and โBest British Albumโ.
The band will perform a handful of special venues over the course of the year including Londonโs Royal Festival Hall (12th June) and Glasgow The SSE Hydro (21st Dec). Tickets went on sale 2nd March.
