The huge homecoming gig is happening the weekend before Christmas.

Formed in Glasgow in 1990, Travis are one of Scotland’s most successful musical exports, having sold around seven million records.

The two-time Brit Award winners’ first album Good Feeling reached the top 10 in 1997, but it was their second album, The Man Who, that catapulted them to stardon, going nice-times platinum and spawning the hit singles Writing to Reach You, Driftwood, Why Does It Always Rain on Me? and Turn.
