Lostprophets 2010 UK Tour

• 27th Oct 2009

After several sold out shows in the last couple of months, including electrifying performances headlining the Radio 1/NME Stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals and a Q Awards show at the Forum, LOSTPROPHETS have announced a UK tour for next year. The band release their fourth album ‘The Betrayed’ on 18th January 2010 which includes the top 20 single ‘It’s Not The End of The World, But I Can See It From Here’.

The band who consist of guitarist Mike Lewis, frontman Ian Watkins, Lee Gaze (guitar), Stuart Richardson (bass), Jamie Oliver (keyboards, programming) and new drummer Luke Johnson will also return in November for a couple of shows including their debut appearance at the Little Noise Sessions. These gigs are held every year in the Union Chapel In London and curated by DJ Jo Whiley with acts as diverse as Editors, Alexandra Burke and Taio Cruz all set to appear this year. A very special show with a few surprises is planned.

‘The Betrayed’ was recorded in several locations and studios in Los Angeles, with a few false starts where the band scrapped various recordings with different producers. Eventually, a trip back to their native Wales and original rehearsal rooms in Cardiff saw the group re-invigorated and energised and on their return to the US things came together quickly. Bassist Stuart Richardson took on production and mixing duties (alongside Justin Hopfer with whom he’d previously worked with on Welsh rock act Attack Attack) for the first time and the band have created their most ambitious and accomplished album to date.
