The Last Dinner Party is coming to Palace Theatre 6/05
English theatrical rock band The Last Dinner Party is currently on tour as an ode to their recent album From the Pyre that was released in October 2025. The band came to be in 2021 with their debut album Prelude to Ecstasy being released in 2023. The sounds from their first album create the perfect trademark theatrics that people would soon associate with The Last Dinner Party. The release of From the Pyre, brought us further into the world of The Last Dinner Party by evoking ideas of destruction and beauty through the band’s story telling, “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”.
Right now, they're embarking on a string of North American tour dates before heading back across the pond for a UK and European leg. If you catch them live, expect a whole lot of drama: costume changes that would make a theater kid weep and lead singer Abigail Morris vamping across the stage like she’s hosting a cabaret in a 17th-century palace in the coolest way possible. Tracks like "Nothing Matters" and "The Feminine Urge" hit way harder live—big choruses, bigger emotions, and a band that genuinely looks like they’re having the time of their lives.
Joining them on the first leg of their tour was Florence Road, and Automatic joining them on their second leg. In St. Paul, LA band Automatic will be kicking the show off. Their 2025 album Is It Now?, was a collaboration with the producer Loren Humphrey to build on the sound of previous albums Signal and Excess – minimalist yet danceable songs which they describe as “deviant pop”. The album visits topics surround societal structural urgency with a twist of dark humor.
Overall, the show is one that should not be missed for those who love music and performance that is messy, theatrical, heartfelt, and weirdly punk in its refusal to be subtle. Tickets for the St. Paul, MN show can be bought here.
