Artist statement :
“Hey everyone,
As we came to the end of the UK/Ireland tour, we put some time aside to discuss how to approach the upcoming European tour. The burnout weāre experiencing ā emotionally, mentally, and physically ā is something weāre taking very seriously. After much consideration we have come to the difficult decision to finish the tour with the last show in Prague. This means that we are sadly cancelling our November headline shows in Vienna, Zurich, Parma, Luxembourg and Tilburg. We wanted to give fans with tickets to these particular dates as much advance notice as possible to adjust their plans. We sincerely apologise to our fans who were looking forward to seeing us, and we are truly saddened to not be seeing you this time. Refunds will be issued by your point of purchase to the original method of payment.
This year has been incredible for us but undeniably exhausting and we have found that we need to take responsibility over the amount of shows that we can do. Pushing ourselves past breaking point is not a fair or wise decision for anyone. We hope that you can understand that our reason for cancelling these shows is to protect our well-being and give the very best performances you all deserve.
Moving forward and armed with the knowledge of our limits, we are working with our team to make sure we only book tours that we are capable of fulfilling at the highest potential. We never want to find ourselves in this situation again.
Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for being the most supportive, generous, and wonderful fans – it means so much to us.
With love,
TLDP”
About
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 and reams and reams of acclaim and social media discourse youād be hard pushed to liken it to any new artist introducing themselves within the last decade, perhaps further beyond. The wildest of rides.
But amongst all the deafening noise stand five smart young musicians trying to ignore what they cannot control and instead leave a permanent impression out on the stages theyād always dreamed of performing on. A mesmerising, captivating live act, The Last Dinner Party started this journey honing their craft on the basement stages of Londonās grassroots venues and have been telling their story to bigger capacity rooms across the UK, Europe and the US ever since. And with debut shows announced for Australia and Japan later this year, further headline tours across the US and UK (including three sold-out homecoming shows at Londonās Hammersmith Apollo in the Autumn) and a handful of Summer festival performances (including a big return to Glastonbury) where all eyes look set to fall squarely on them, 2024 has quickly become as exciting a next chapter as their opening bow.
Britainās āmost likely toā have emphatically become Britainās most in-demand, and Britainās most exciting.
Special Guest: KATY J PEARSON
Someday, Now, Katy J Pearson’s third solo album, marks a significant shift in her music and artistic autonomy. Drawing on the Celtic Blessing, the album’s opening invokes a modern good-luck charm, setting the stage for Pearsonās exploration of new soundscapes. Produced by Nathan Jenkins (Bullion), known for his work with notable artists, the album reflects Pearsonās clarity and vision following a period of burnout and self-imposed exile from music.
Pearson embraced a pop sound naturally, with Jenkins helping her find confidence in her own voice and style, including singing in her natural Gloucestershire accent. The album was efficiently recorded at Rockfield Studios with a carefully chosen band and engineering by Joe Jones. The disciplined recording process resulted in songs that balance electronic production with Pearsonās authentic, emotionally honest vocals.
Tracks like “Those Goodbyes” and “Someday” showcase this balance, with Pearson embracing vulnerability and a relaxed vocal range. The album also features a variety of musical influences, from Beck to Kate Bush, blending genres seamlessly. The cover art, shot by Kasia Wozniak, metaphorically captures Pearsonās newfound empowerment. Pearson confidently asserts that Someday, Now is her best work, embodying a realization of her artistic potential.
