The Last Dinner Party’s Journey to Superstardom Continues at O2 Victoria Warehouse [Photos]
The rising stars of British pop continue their journey to superstardom with a magical night at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester…
2024 has been a huge year for London alt-pop group The Last Dinner Party, who have gone from strength to strength, having captured the hearts of the public in 2023. A word-of-mouth success story, the band took off in 2024 with a Brit Award amongst the accolades heaped on the band along with prestigious festival slots all preceding the release of their debut album Prelude To Ecstasy.
Heading out on a sixteen-date UK tour to promote the album, a tour which is seeing Sold Out stickers plastered all across it, The Last Dinner Party arrive in Manchester to a packed O2 Victoria Warehouse. Opening up the show is Glaswegian indie band Lucia & The Best Boys, who, having dropped their debut album Burning Castles and toured with fellow Scots Garbage earlier this year, are deservedly building their own buzz. Suitably dark in aura, the moody tones of their pop go down well with those who’ve battled over to this side of Manchester.
Much in the same way, London-based singer Kaeto who has been a buzz name around the scene since her debut single, “Good Morning,” two years ago. Again, having toured with a plethora of similar artists from Haim to Lauren Mayberry, Kaeto has been fine-tuning her dark, cinematic pop and, again, unsurprisingly, finds her music sitting perfectly at home with the tastes of this sold-out crowd.
As for the headliners, The Last Dinner Party are simply riding high on the crest of a wave at the moment, and if you’ve already crossed paths with the group, you’ll know this popularity is wholly deserved. The award-winning outfit takes to the stage and delivers a performance of a band marked for superstardom.
Although each member of the band brings their own wonderfully unique talent to the table, only when it is combined do you start to see the real magic happen. Weave the theatrical element into their dramatic alt-pop, and the end result is sublime. Opening with “Burn Alive” and “Caesar on a TV Screen,” it isn’t long before The Last Dinner Party have the crowd in the palms of their hands.
Not that this sold-out crowd needed much encouragement as the band glided through their seventy-five-minute set with tracks like “Sinner” and “Nothing Matters,” the final song of their set, hinting that, while this run of shows might be the biggest headlines dates the group have performed, The Last Dinner Party are only getting warmed up…
