After finishing an epic 18 date SOLD OUT tour across the UK, Lostprophets have announced two brand new shows at O2 Academy Bournemouth and Folkestone Leas Cliff Hall in April ahead of their Cardiff Arena show on Saturday 1st May. The Blackout have been announced as support for Folkstone and Bournemouth.
Before embarking on the dates, Lostprophets released their third single “For He's a Jolly Good Felon" on and is taken from the acclaimed top 3 album “The Betrayed” out now. The track is already proving a live favourite and will feature exclusive b-sides across the formats.
After the UK tour the band head to Australia, Japan and then Europe for dates taking them up to their new dates. The band are performing tracks from all their albums and generating an ecstatic response around the country with ‘Felon’ becoming a stand out track already.
“The Betrayed is impressively, chillingly, controlled” **** Q Magazine
“Lostprophets have come back fighting with an album crammed with anthems set to soundtrack this summer’s festivals” **** Heat
“This is a triumph which spreads their appeal far and wide. The rock world is theirs for the taking”
**** The Sun
