The Last Dinner Party aren’t slowing down. The London five-piece have locked in a 35-date headline tour that takes them across the UK, Europe and, crucially, a major run of Australia and New Zealand in January 2026.

The journey begins in Dublin on 14 November, rolling through arenas and theatres before wrapping their UK leg with two nights at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 7 and 8 December. From there, the band fly south to Australia for shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, before crossing the Tasman to Auckland. February then sees them back on European soil for another sweep across the continent.

The news lands ahead of their second album From The Pyre, due 17 October 2025 via Island EMI. Produced by Grammy-winner Markus Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence & The Machine, Björk), the record follows their 2023 chart-topping debut Prelude to Ecstasy.

Pre-order From the Pyre HERE.

Lead single “This Is The Killer Speaking” sets the tone: a darker, earthier collection of myth-infused stories, where heartbreak and ghosting turn into apocalyptic westerns, and saints, sailors and Joan of Arc mingle with rifles, floods and blazing infernos.

“The Pyre is an allegorical place,” the band explain, “a site of destruction but also of regeneration. These songs are character-driven, but always deeply personal.”

Armed with two BRIT Awards and a history of selling out venues worldwide —including three back-to-back London Eventim Apollo shows and a successful Australian tour—the band’s ascent remains unstoppable. From The Pyre looks set to cement their reputation as one of Britain’s most exciting new exports, and their return to Australia and New Zealand will give southern hemisphere fans the chance to experience it firsthand.
