THE LAST DINNER PARTY
FROM THE PYRE OUT TODAY, VIA ISLAND RECORDS
ANNOUNCE 31-DATE 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR IN CITIES INCLUDING NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO, NASHVILLE, TORONTO, AUSTIN, AND MORE
TICKETS ON-SALE HERE ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH AT 10AM LOCAL TIME
Today, The Last Dinner Party release their second studio album From the Pyre (Island Records). For the album, the London five-piece headed into the studio early 2025 with Grammy Award winning producer Markus Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence & The Machine, Bjork) to start work on the follow-up to their number 1 debut album, 2023’s Prelude to Ecstasy. From The Pyre is the sound of a band having a lot of fun rather than feeling any innate pressure to follow-up on what was an explosively successful debut record. It’s also the sound of a young band developing and maturing their songwriting together, as tight a unit as the endless months out on the road pay testament to. From the Pyre is available on all formats here.
Yesterday, the band announced an extensive 31-date tour of the US and Canada, with dates in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville, Toronto, Austin, and more (full dates below). The tour will kick off on March 27th at Austin, TX’s ACL Live at The Moody Theater and feature Florence Road supporting on the first leg of the tour and Automatic on the second. Tickets will go on-sale here on Friday, October 24th @ 10:00 AM Local Time.
The Last Dinner Party on From The Pyre:
“This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light.
“The songs are character driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the apocalypse. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss the way our experiences felt, giving each the emotional weight it deserves.”
“This record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime landscape rather than seated an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.”
With two BRIT Awards to their name (including Breakthrough Artist earlier this year), and having sold out virtually every show they played right across the globe (including three sold-out hometown shows at London’s Eventim Apollo), The Last Dinner Party’s arrival and subsequent worldwide success was one of the most thrilling introductions to a new British band in decades, and From The Pyre’s opening introduction suggests that unparalleled success story shows no signs of relenting.
