Lostprophets Announce New Single

• 15th Feb 2010

Currently charging around the UK on their most extensive sold out UK tour for almost 6 years, Lostprophets have announced details of a new single set for release on 5th April 2010.

‘For He’s A Jolly Good Felon’ is taken from the bands fourth album ‘The Betrayed’ which entered the UK album charts at No. 3 in January. 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 rescheduled Welsh date. Lostprophets were forced to cancel their Afan Lido gig in Port Talbot after a fire damaged the building and made it impossible to go ahead. The group will now play Cardiff International Arena on 1st May 2010.

The group are performing tracks from all their albums and generating an ecstatic response around the country with ‘Felon’ becoming a stand out track already.
