To mark the release of their fifth studio album Weapons due out this Spring, Lostprophets have announced an extensive tour kicking off at The Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 15 April. The Welsh rock band will then travel up North to play Belfast’s Ulster Hall the following night.
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.
Lostprophets were formed in Pontypridd, South Wales, in 1997. Their line-up is Ian Watkins (vocals), Jamie Oliver (keyboards, turntables, vocals), Stuart Richardson (bass), Mike Lewis (guitars), Lee Gaze (guitars) and Luke Johnson (drums). The Betrayed, their fourth album, will be released in January 2010 through Visible Noise.
