With their sophomore album fast approaching, buzz band and two-time BRIT Awards winners The Last Dinner Party return to Australia in 2026.
The 'Nothing Matters', 'Sinner' and 'The Feminine Urge' hitmakers will headline concerts in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane next January.
"We're bringing our travelling troupe of myth-makers to the world, with a brand new show full of chaos, catharsis and light! We can't wait to tell you new stories by the warmth of the Pyre. TLDP xx."
The news is packaged with the release of the next single from the new record ('From The Pyre' – to be released 17 October; pre-order it), titled 'The Scythe' that follows album's lead single, 'This Is The Killer Speaking', which dropped in July.
The London band worked with Grammy Award-winning producer Markus Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence & The Machine, Bjork) on 'From The Pyre' – the follow-up to their UK #1 album, 2024's 'Prelude To Ecstasy'.
"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 band says.
"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."
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 12 September.
