LOSTPROPHETS play Southampton Guildhall on Wednesday on the penultimate date of their first headline UK tour in two years.
The 14 date tour is in support of their brand new album Weapons, which was released at the start of the month.
It’s been two years since the Welsh sextet released their fourth studio album, The Betrayed. Two very hectic years. After triumphant tours across the UK and Europe, 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 the fifth album could begin, 2010 included Reading and Leeds and a slot at the opening ceremony for the Ryder Cup at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
The band have known each other since their school days in Pontypridd, South Wales.
Through their four previous albums – 2000s fakesoundofprogress, 2004s Start Something and 200’s number one Liberation Transmission, the sextet have stacked up a dozen or so top 40 singles and sold over two million albums worldwide.
