Capitalizing on the success of her No Angel album, which sits this week at Number Seven on the SoundScan album chart, Dido has announced her spring/summer tour, which will feature Scottish critical darlings Travis as openers.

Travis have just completed their third album, The Invisible Band, to be released June 12th on Epic Records. Produced by Nigel Godrich in Los Angeles, the album will feature new songs "Dear Diary" and "Last Train" -- both written by frontman Fran Healy in the sunny locale -- along with previously announced tracks "Flowers in the Window," "Safe" and "The Cage." The first single, "Sing," hits radio April 24th.
