Travis

Before their iconic performance of "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" at Live 8 in July 2005, Travis had just released their album, "12 Memories" in late 2003. This album marked a pivotal point in their career, showcasing a slightly edgier sound that diverged from their earlier work. At Live 8, they played in front of millions as part of a star-studded lineup aimed at addressing global poverty. The performance not only highlighted their hit single but also solidified their status as a significant band in the UK music scene. Interestingly, it's said that the song's poignant lyrics resonate with the themes of struggle and hope — a fitting match for an event intended to inspire change. Travis's enchanting performance at such a monumental event remains a cherished memory for fans, reflecting both their emotional depth and the spirit of the occasion.
