Travis have announced their Raze The Bar Tour.
The multi-Brit Award and Ivor Novello-winning band will call in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Margate, London, Bristol, Eastbourne, Sheffield, Newcastle and Glasgow, where they'll wrap up the trek with a hometown show at the OVO Hydro on December 21.
Support will come from Hamish Hawk across all the UK dates. Tickets go on general sale at 9am next Friday (June 14).
Ahead of the new shows, the Scottish four-piece will support The Killers on their UK arena tour this summer, before a return to Europe for their first run of dates on the continent since 2016 during August and September. They'll also top the bill at Sign Of The Times Festival in Hertfordshire in July, and appear at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in Preston in September, ahead of a North American tour in January and February 2025.
Alongside the live dates, Travis have shared the reflective, acoustic new song Bus, the third preview of their new album, 'L.A. Times', due out on July 12. Introducing it, frontman Fran Healy said:
"I was on holiday, staring out the window, watching all the boats bobbing on the sea. I was trying to write a song and nothing was coming. It reminded me of all the years I spent waiting on buses. You never think it’s going to come, but if you wait long enough it usually turns up. Looking out at the sea at all the little sailing boats, I imagined all the bands and artists sitting in them waiting on that freak gust of wind to blow them to fame and fortune. We caught a huge one in ’99 so I can testify to the random nature of it. In the middle of all these thoughts came a cool little melody and the song was written a few minutes later."
Head below to view the accompanying video, which was filmed in Scotland with Healy directing. It features a guest appearance from friend of the band Adam Buxton, who said: "I’m honoured to have at least part of my face featured in the new video from a band I love. The dream is to one day land the full body cameo, but you’ve got to start somewhere."
