THE LAST DINNER PARTY
ANNOUNCES SPECIAL GUEST SIR CHLOE
NEW ALBUM “FROM THE PYRE” DROPS TOMORROW
NEW SINGLE “SECOND BEST” OUT NOW
TICKETS ON SALE NOW
Following a year of sold-out shows around the globe, The Last Dinner Party are returning to Australia in January 2026, with special guest Sir Chloe joining the tour for shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.
The announcement lands alongside the London five-piece’s latest single, “Second Best”, lifted from their highly anticipated second album, From The Pyre, which drops tomorrow 17th October 2025.
Sir Chloe is the moniker of musician and artist Dana Foote, known for blending grungy guitar hooks, sharp pop instincts, and a distinctive, emotionally raw vocal style, channeling artists like PJ Harvey, David Byrne, and Radiohead. Her stage presence has been compared to the likes of a “disheveled businessman after a long day,” and a “drunk uncle.” Her debut EP Party Favors (2020) is taut and emotionally charged, sitting between mainstream ambition and experimental edge and has amassed nearly a billion streams and multiple gold records.
The Last Dinner Party 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.
Speaking about the LP, the band said: “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.
