LORD OF THE LOST RETURN TO THE UK THIS HALLOWEEN FOR
 MANCHESTER & BRISTOL SHOWS

Underground stars of the epic Liverpool Eurovision Song Contest - LORD OF THE LOST - will be returning to the UK in 2025. 

German hard rock overlords Lord of the Lost are back for dates in Bristol and Manchester across the Halloween weekend, marking their first UK dates in over 2 years. Playing the sizable spaces of Crane venue at The Prospect Building and the O2 Ritz respectively, the latter finds the band returning to the North following their sold-out show at Manchester Academy 2 in September 2023. 

The shows will coincide with their highly anticipated headline performance at the Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival celebrations in Whitby that same weekend.  

Tickets for the shows go on general sale this Friday @ 10am.

Over the past 15 years, LORD OF THE LOST is a name that has embedded itself into the top tier of dark and heavy music. Juggling elements of metal, industrial, glam, rock and pop, the genre-fluid group continues to invent itself over and over again, both musically and visually, to rising national and international success. 

To date, the band have released albums including ‘EMPYREAN’ (2016) and ‘THORNSTAR’ (2018), both of which entered the Top 10 of the German Album Charts at #9 and #6 respectively, whilst their staggering successful double album ‘JUDAS’ (2021) reached #2.

However, it was 2023 that would prove to be a watershed moment for the band. The arrival of their album ‘BLOOD & GLITTER’ would cement their status as hard rock heavyweights when it leaped straight to #1 and remained in the album charts for seven weeks in total. Later that year, the group would prove underdog winners of Germany’s Eurovision preliminary stage, charging them onto an heroic performance at the LIVERPOOL EUROVISION SONG CONTEST in May of that year with their anthemic “Blood & Glitter” track. And to cap it off, the year would also see Lord of the Lost tour with hard rock legends IRON MAIDEN,  their second summer tour with Bruce Dickinson and co. in a row. 

Last year, Lord of the Lost released the sensational covers album ‘WEAPONS OF MASS SEDUCTION’, a record that again stormed the charts and earned them a #2 chart position in Germany; success that was sealed with a major European tour titled "15 Years of LORD OF THE LOST", their first ever tours of the USA and Canada, as well as the grand year-end finale at LORDFEST in Hamburg.

Looking ahead to a bright 2025, the wheels are already in motion for a new album to come this year… watch this space for developments.  

Seeing LORD OF THE LOST live is so much more than just a concert. Their hard-hitting and theatrical performances exude endless energy, while their dedicated crowds come together like a close knit community. Promising an experience you won’t forget in hurry, join the band in Bristol and Manchester this Autumn for a spectacle like no other. 

Support for both shows will come from special guests SKARLETT RIOT and JULIEN - K.
