British indie rock outfit The Last Dinner Party are making their grand return to Australia in January 2026.

The band made their Australian debut last July, performing at Spin Off festival in Adelaide and headline dates along the East Coast that required venue upgrades due to demand. Their next tour is massive—befitting a band set to drop an exciting new album and amassing fans across the globe.

The Last Dinner Party will begin a tour of Europe and the UK this November before heading to Australia and New Zealand in early 2026. The tour starts at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium on Saturday, 10 January.

It continues at Adelaide’s AEC Theatre on Tuesday, 13 January, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Thursday, 15 January, ICC Sydney Theatre on Saturday, 17 January, and concludes at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Monday, 19 January. The band then head to New Zealand to end the tour at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Thursday, 22 January.

Mastercard cardholders can access pre-sale tickets on Tuesday, 9 September, from 10 am local time until 9 am on Friday, 12 September. Mastercard cardholders will also have access to a Preferred Ticket sale, which will be available next Friday. Head to the Priceless website for more details on those sales.

Secret Sounds members can access pre-sale tickets on Thursday, 11 September, at 10 am local time – sign up for pre-sale access here. The general sale opens at 10 am local time on Friday, 12 September, via the Secret Sounds website.

The Last Dinner Party are touring in support of their highly anticipated second album, From The Pyre, which is set for release on Friday, 17 October, via Island EMI. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here and check out the dramatic first single This Is The Killer Speaking below.

The band said of the forthcoming album:

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 a 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 at an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.

Reviewing their show at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion last year, The Music’s Jake Fitzpatrick declared that “the next great rock stars” have arrived in the form of The Last Dinner Party.

Fitzpatrick continued, “After a brief encore, the band’s final song, Nothing Matters, whipped the audience into a frenzy. At times, the band appear like a coven of the sweetest witches you’ve ever laid eyes on, and then, in an instant, they switch into the most scrumptiously daring of rock stars. 

“If this is the last dinner party, I’m in and will bring the finest wine I have.”
