Travis have announced a spring UK tour.
The band will follow up the October 9 release of their new album, ‘10 Songs’, with shows in Bournemouth, Bath, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Newcastle, Stoke, London and Cambridge between April 30 and May 12. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on August 28.
Meanwhile, head below to check out their new single, The Only Thing featuring Susana Hoffs of the Bangles, a playful indie-pop ballad. Frontman Fran Healy directed the song’s video. He said:
“This is definitely my Covideo. One of the main prerequisites was to somehow get us all on the same stage and try to capture the spontaneity of a duet while the performers are in different locations. Leading up to the shoot, I would send Susanna a video of a great duet. Summer Wine, I Got You Babe, Islands In The Stream. I hired a small film crew and persuaded Glasgow’s Theatre Royal to open its doors to us. I directed the shoot remotely, via three phones. One in the DP’s ear, one FaceTime trained on the monitor and one iPhone with the band. There were so many moving parts. I’m amazed we got there and it turned out great.”
“Fran and I met through a mutual appreciation on Twitter,” Hoffs explained in a statement. “The friendship grew from there. One day, he asked me to sing with him, and without hesitation, I burst out ‘Yes!’. He showed up at my doorstep with his recording gear and we recorded my vocals in the living room. Collaborating with Fran and the band has been a pure pleasure.”
The quartet will also play their rescheduled Edinburgh Summer Sessions show on August 13.
