After seeing Travis' in-store in Fopp last night, I think they'd be a perfect choice for King Tut's next year.
Think of all the singalongs!!
Why Does It Always Rain On Me!
Driftwood!
Writing to Reach You!
Sing!
Side!
Flowers in the Window!
Happy!
Turn!
Closer!
Coming Around!
The new album is great, would get a big crowd - it'll have been 4 years since they last played T, they should return!

Travis. The musical equivalent to a slightly damp piece of cardboard.

Their new album is ok. Same old sh*t really. They are beige bench, simple singalong music. Would be alright seeing them there but I for 1 wouldn't go see them because there is bound to be something far better on at the time. My gran and little sister like them, pretty much sums it up.

Use all the exclamation marks you want... Travis are still one of the most bland acts ever.
Acquiesce.

I believe Travis have played more Ts than they haven't so chances are they will be there next year.
Also, statistically speaking one of them will die from Cancer so guess its not all bad.

I think they could easily headline, and should. Seen them twice and they are one of the best live acts I've ever seen (and I've seen Rage

). But they should play more of a mixture of songs from The Boy With No Name and their older hits, rather than a set dominated by their newest album, which isn't of the same standard in my opinion.

Personally I wouldn't go see them but they would fit in and would attract the drunken masses for a singalong.

I hope your not meaning the mainstage?! NME at an extreme, major push. King Tuts fair enough.

Admittedly they would be good for a sing along but I wouldn't like to see them headlining or receive high billing. There are so many better bands all about to release albums who are far better than Travis.

Could see them headlining outside on the fakey Friday.

They played the JJB tent at V this year and it was packed out, Ive seen Travis a couple of times, always put on a great show, nice lads too, they know their time in the sun has been and gone they just want to put on a good show and entertain the crowd these days, they're far less bland live than you would think

Is that the chorus to a Travis song? They've had a few songs with a one word chorus.
"Turn turn turn turn turn turn turn."
"Sing sing sing sing sing sing"
Highly creative

Please tell me you are joking??? Travis are the worst band ever. FACT!!!!
Why Does It Always Rain On Me? Cos you're a snivellin' wee self pitying shit Fran!
Sing! You should try it sometime instead of that grating sound that comes out every time you open your mouth.
