Travis Touring Forests

To support the new album we mentioned a few days ago, The Boy With No Name, Travis are embarking on a British tour come this May. They are kicking it off in Grimsby (where?) and then heading to Dundee (big up Dundee!). Tickets go onsale TOMORROW at 9am GMT and I believe you can purchase them on NME.com but according to the Travis message boards, people are already purchasing tickets on SeeTickets. The endearing Scots will be ending their tour by playing four forests- for this, I have no reason. Perhaps to raise awareness about the ever dwindling forest areas in Britain? Perhaps because it is just too darn adorable? Perhaps it is just the cool thing to do and I had no earthly clue? Who knows, but if I were to pick a show to hit, it would definitely be Sherwood Forest. Let's hope the boys follow through on their G8 pledges and don't make a mess of things there.
