Travis at Keswick Theater

Travis

An integral part of the scene that bred Coldplay, Snow Patrol, and others, Travis was one of the driving forces of British guitar pop in the late 90s and early 00s. Originally named 'Glass Onion,' Travis was founded when all four members were students at the Glasgow School of Art in 1990. It was 1999's "The Man Who" that brought them to international attention. Followed by "The Invisible Band" in 2001, they cemented their place as one of the greatest bands of their generation. Don't miss your chance to see them live in 2025 on their largest North American tour in 15 years, in support of their new album "L.A. Times"!
