TRAVIS: THE MAN WHO NEW ZEALAND TOUR TICKETS 2026

All You Need To Know About Travis

Scottish rock band Travis are widely regarded as one of the most influential groups to emerge from the post-Britpop era. Formed in Glasgow in the early 1990s, the band achieved international acclaim with the release of their seminal 1999 album The Man Who. Marking a significant shift towards more introspective and melodic songwriting, the album resonated with audiences worldwide and became a defining work of its time. Tracks such as Why Does It Always Rain on Me?, Driftwood, and Turn captured the emotional depth and subtle artistry that would come to characterise Travis’ sound.

The Man Who remains the band’s most iconic release and continues to be strongly associated with their legacy. Its commercial and critical success — including platinum status in Australia — established Travis as a key figure in contemporary British rock. More than two decades on, the album still holds cultural significance and is celebrated by fans for its timeless appeal and lyrical sincerity.

Top Three Travis Songs

Why Does It Always Rain on Me?- Arguably the band’s most iconic track, this melancholic yet melodic anthem from The Man Who (1999) became a defining song of the post-Britpop era. Its reflective lyrics and sing-along chorus resonated widely, helping cement Travis’ status on the international stage.

Sing- Released in 2001 as the lead single from The Invisible Band, Sing showcases Travis’ knack for crafting emotionally rich, acoustic-driven pop. The song became their highest-charting single in the UK and remains a staple of their live performances.

Driftwood- Also from The Man Who, Driftwood exemplifies the band’s signature sound—gentle, introspective, and lyrically poignant. Its understated beauty and heartfelt delivery have made it a long-time fan favourite.
