Travis

In July 2005, Travis took the stage at Live 8 in Edinburgh, delivering a stirring performance of 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?' This live recording came shortly after the release of their fourth studio album, '12 Memories,' which had dropped in 2003 and showcased a more personal and introspective side of the band. During this time, Travis was enjoying a resurgence of popularity, riding high on the success of earlier hits while also tackling deeper themes in their music. An interesting tidbit: their performance at this globally watched event not only highlighted their emotional, melodic sound but also underscored their commitment to important social issues, aligning with the ethos of Live 8’s mission to combat poverty. It's remarkable how a band can connect through music and message, isn’t it?
