Live Review: Lostprophets - Preston 53 Degrees - 13/02/2010

Tonight is a big night for Preston, it’s not that often that established artists play the City and Lostprophets are as big a band as they come around here. The venue is a hidden gem, a two tiered room with a 1200 capacity allowing an intimate feel if wanted but also allowing for people who don’t tend to stand in the crowd to be able to see at a better vantage point.

We start off with Hexes, and although the crowd seem appreciative, they deliver a poor set. Luckily, second support act, Kids In Glass Houses are on hand to show Hexes how it's done, with a set packed with hits, it's not only a perfect send off for their current touring cycle for their debut album but it's also a glimpse into what's to come, they leave the stage having done their job of gearing up the crowd nicely for headliners; Lostprophets. With new album; 'The Betrayed' in tow, Lostprophets are looking to pick up where they left off a couple of years ago, with 'Liberation Transmission' having propelled them to worldwide acclaim.
