Travis booked for May gig

Award winning indie rockers Travis are coming to the Isle of Man this summer.

The four-piece band from Glasgow has twice received the British Album of the Year award at the Brits and is often credited as having paved the way for British bands such as Coldplay and Keane.

Travis, best known for the hit single 'Why does it always rain on me?', will perform at the Villa Marina on Wednesday, May 25.

Minister for Community, Culture and Leisure David Cretney says he is delighted Travis will be playing on the Island in the run-up to the TT.
