Glasgow band Travis have announced an international tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary re-issue of their breakthrough album, 'The Invisible Band'.
The band revealed on Instagram they were releasing a deluxe album box set as well as American and UK tour dates, with the album featuring unheard demos, live sessions and alternate takes of your favourite songs on the album.
Frontman Fran Healy said: “‘The Invisible Band’ is 20!! I hadn’t listened to the whole album for a while. It’s a lovely piece of work from the big singles like ‘Sing’ and ‘Flowers in the Window’ to ‘Afterglow’ and ‘Last Train’. It sounds great at 20!”
Travis' statement on Instagram said: "To celebrate the 20th Anniversary today we announce a very special Deluxe Edition boxset and North American + UK tour dates in April and May 2022!
"The deluxe edition is available to pre-order today and will be released on December 3rd. It features the original album newly remastered, all the original B-Sides and a selection of completely unreleased demos, live sessions, and alternate takes!
"You can listen right now to the previously unreleased demo for ‘Sing’, originally titled ‘Swing’! There are a limited number of hand-numbered prints, signed by the band available via the Travis store.
"We are so excited to be taking the album on the road in North American and UK and can’t wait to play it in its entirety for the first time, plus other classics! US tickets are on sale this Friday 8th October, except Austin which goes on sale Friday 15th Oct, via the band’s website. UK tickets are on sale now, existing tickets for May UK tour remain valid!"
The tour will start in America, before the UK leg begins in Cambridge on May 10 next year and will come to a fitting end in Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall on May 22.
