About The Last Dinner Party

Emerging from the vibrant London music scene, The Last Dinner Party have rapidly redefined expectations for a debut act, captivating audiences and critics alike with their distinctive blend of theatricality, artistic flair, and undeniable musical talent. Formed in 2021, the five-piece – comprising Abigail Morris (vocals), Georgia Davies (bass), Lizzie Mayland (guitar), Aurora La Crete (drums), and Emily Roberts (keyboard/guitar) – quickly garnered attention for their striking aesthetic and enigmatic stage presence. Their debut single, “The Feminine Urge,” released in 2023, offered a tantalizing glimpse into their ambitious sound, a heady mix of post-punk energy, baroque pop sensibilities, and a lyrical depth that explores themes of desire, liberation, and societal expectations.

This was swiftly followed by “Sinner,” a track that further showcased their knack for crafting anthemic choruses and dynamic arrangements, building anticipation for their much-heralded debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy. Released in early 2024, the album was met with widespread critical adoration, praised for its ambitious scope, intricate musicianship, and Abigail Morris’s commanding vocal performance. Tracks like the sprawling, dramatic “My Lady of Mercy” and the infectiously energetic “Caesar on Her Mind” have become fan favourites, demonstrating their ability to weave intricate narratives within powerful musical soundscapes. Their career has been a meteoric rise, propelled by sold-out shows, festival headline slots, and a fervent online buzz, all testament to their unique artistic vision and their ability to connect with audiences on a profound level. The Last Dinner Party are not merely a band; they are a fully realised artistic project, and their Wolverhampton appearance is set to be another chapter in their already compelling story.
