The Last Dinner Party have announced details of a headline tour that spans from the autumn through to next spring, kicking off in Dublin's 3Arena.
The 35-date run kicks off with a UK/Ireland run which starts at the 3Arena on November 14th and concludes with two nights at O2 Academy Brixton in London on December 7th and 8th.
The band then heads to Australia in January and across Europe in February, concluding at Sentrum Scene in Oslo on March 6th.
Tickets for the tour go on general sale from 10am on Friday, September 12th. Fans who pre-order the album from the official store will be offered access to tour pre-sale.
Tickets for the group's Dublin gig, which can be bought through Ticketmaster, range in price from €56.35 to €61.85.
The Last Dinner Party will release their second album, From The Pyre, on October 17th. It was announced alongside the release of the album’s lead single, “This Is The Killer Speaking”.
The Last Dinner Party on From The Pyre: “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. 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 an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.”
