Lostprophets UK and Ireland tour

Lostprophets have announced the release of their brand new album 'Weapons' and their first headline UK tour in two years.

The new album is released on April 2nd and is followed by a 14 date tour of the UK and Ireland culminating with a show at London's O2 Academy Brixton.

It's been two years since the Welsh sextet released their fourth studio album, 'The Betrayed' (January 2010). Two very hectic years. After triumphant tours across the UK and Europe on which they played in front of tens of thousands of people, Kerrang! Magazine bestowed the prestigious 'Classic Songwriters Award' on the band, and it was time for Lostprophets to remind the world just how deserved that honour was.

Before the writing and recording process for fifth album, 'Weapons', could begin, 2010 needed to be closed out with a series of big experiences. As has become the norm, Lostprophets wowed the massive Reading and Leeds main stage crowd. They then went on to steal the show at Belfast's Belsonic Festival and about a month later, were asked to participate in the opening ceremony for the Ryder Cup at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
