Lost Prophets NME Awards Show 2007

Enter Shikari receive NME award and almost upstage Lostprophets. Almost

Watching your support band pick up the coveted John Peel NME Award for innovation during their set might rile you average rock headliners, but Lostprophets let Enter Shikari enjoy the moment.

Peel would be proud.
