Travis back in the US for first time in three years

Scottish indie-rockers Travis will launch their first American tour in three years when they travel across the Atlantic in July to support their new studio album, "The Boy With No Name."

Kicking off July 11 in Philadelphia, the outing will cover 16 cities across North America--including dates in both Canada and Mexico--before finishing in early August. The band's full itinerary is included below.

Released the first week of May, "The Boy With No Name" is the first new Travis album since 2003's "12 Memories." The band self-produced the set with additional input from Brian Eno and recording engineer Mike Hedges. The group also turned to longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich (Beck, Paul McCartney) for assistance on several tracks.

"We trust Nigel and fear him," bassist Dougie Payne said in a press release. "If Nigel doesn't think something is any good, he'll say."

The album's title refers to lead vocalist Fran Healy's newborn son, Clay, whose name Healy and his wife, Nora, were unable to settle upon until four weeks after his birth, according to the press release.
