The Last Dinner Party are a British indie rock band from London, formed in 2021. The band consists of Abigail Morris (vocals), Lizzie Mayland (vocals, guitar), Emily Roberts (lead guitar, mandolin, flute), Georgia Davies (bass) and Aurora Nishevci (keyboards, vocals). They have no permanent drummer, and are currently joined during live performances by Casper Miles.
The band signed with Island Records before releasing their debut single "Nothing Matters" in April 2023, which became a top 20 UK hit. They were awarded the Rising Star Brit Award in December 2023, subsequently winning the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sound of 2024 poll. Their debut studio album, Prelude to Ecstasy, was released on 2 February 2024 and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart.
Morris (from London), Davies (from Australia) and Mayland (from Hebden Bridge) met in 2018 during Freshers' Week at King's College London, and decided to form a band after frequently attending gigs together at The Windmill, feeling inspired by being part of the scene around the venue, with bands such as Black Midi and HMLTD. Their original name the Dinner Party was "inspired by the idea of a huge debauched dinner party where people came together to celebrate with a hedonistic banquet". Emily Roberts was recommended to Morris as a guitarist by a mutual friend, and Nishevci was then brought in. Roberts and Nishevci attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
