Travis

In July 2005, Travis took the stage at Live 8 in London’s Hyde Park, performing their iconic hit "Sing." This live recording came just after the release of their album "12 Memories" in 2003, a period when the band was navigating newfound fame while grappling with the complexities of personal and political themes in their music. Interestingly, during this time, Travis had solidified their reputation as not just a catchy pop-rock band but also as thoughtful lyricists deeply engaged with the issues of the day. The Live 8 event, masterminded by Sir Bob Geldof, was a monumental gathering aimed at raising awareness about poverty, and Travis's performance resonated with many, drawing a staggering audience of around 2 billion viewers. It was a pivotal moment that showcased their commitment to social causes while captivating a global audience.
