Rock band Lostprophets will tour the UK to promote its fourth album The Betrayed which is released on January 18.

The tour follows sold-out gigs during the autumn and a triumphant headliner on the Radio 1/NME stage at Leeds Festival.

The Betrayed will include the top 20 single It’s Not The End of The World, But I Can See It From Here.

The Betrayed was initially recorded around Los Angeles, with 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, ready for more US recording.

A spokesman said the band had created its most ambitious and accomplished album to date.

The band consists of guitarist Mike Lewis, frontman Ian Watkins, Lee Gaze (guitar), Stuart Richardson (bass), Jamie Oliver (keyboards, programming) and new drummer Luke Johnson.

Lostprophets play Hull Ice Arena (February 6), Doncaster Dome (13), Leeds O2 Academy (14) and Manchester Apollo (25).
