THE LAST DINNER PARTY - Prelude To Ecstasy: Acoustics & Covers

THE LAST DINNER PARTY

ANNOUNCE PRELUDE TO ECSTASY: ACOUSTICS AND COVERS

LISTEN TO ‘THIS TOWN AIN’T BIG ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US (SPARKS COVER)’

The Last Dinner Party are pleased to announce the 11th October arrival of Prelude To Ecstasy: Acoustics and Covers - a deluxe edition of their Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut which includes reimagined versions of the band’s own songs alongside unique covers of their favourite tracks from other artists.  The Last Dinner Party’s cover of Sparks’ 1974 single ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us’ arrives alongside a tour montage video; made with footage shot over the band’s recent trips to Japan, The United States and their recent performance at Reading Festival.   A short Prelude To Ecstasy film will be screened at a Soho Cinema and live-streamed to The Last Dinner Party’s YouTube channel on 12th September. Fans will have the opportunity to win tickets to the Leicester Square screening via the band’s mailing list. ​

​To sum up the impact The Last Dinner Party have had, or simply to try and summarise the highlights of their last twelve months would inevitably be doing the band an injustice. With sell out tours across the globe, chart-bothering singles, a fastest-selling number one album by a debuting band for years, a Rising Star BRIT Award, BBC Sound of 2024 winners, reams of acclaim and now an inclusion on the Mercury Prize - Albums of the Year shortlist: you’d be hard pushed to liken it to any new artist introducing themselves within the last decade, perhaps further beyond. The wildest of rides.

Having commenced the summer with a spree of stellar festival appearances including Radio 1 Big Weekend, Primavera Sound, TRNSMT and a scene-stealing return to Glastonbury, The Last Dinner Party have now wrapped their debut run of shows in bassist Georgia’s home country of Australia and an appearance at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival, before the band complete a collection of sold out dates on both sides of the Atlantic: culminating in 3 nights at London’s Eventim Apollo. 

Britain’s “most likely to” have emphatically become Britain’s most in-demand, and Britain’s most exciting.
