The Last Dinner Party are very pleased to share a brand new single. Big Dog is streaming now. A spoken word piece, Come All You Beasts, that the band regularly recite before performing the track live is also shared today. Listen to Big Dog HERE
The British band have rarely been off the road since their second album From The Pyre was released last year, but Big Dog has become an important part of their live set long before the release of even their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy. Fans have been quick to remind them the song, a live favourite is well overdue its studio release.
Co-produced (the band’s first production credit) alongside Animesh Raval, Big Dog is a dark, forceful and almost PJ Harvey shaped three minutes of leftfield art-pop. It arrives with the band in the middle of a US headline run of dates which run to mid-June. They head home to play Isle of Wight, TRNSMT, Latitude, as support to Wolf Alice at Finsbury Park, and for their first festival headline slot at Wilderness – alongside a slew of European festival spots throughout the Summer.
Explaining the poem, Come All You Beasts, bassist Georgia Davies comments, “Come All You Beasts was written as a way to introduce the folkloric and storytelling elements of From the Pyre to Big Dog. The themes of the song were interpolated with Bible verses, subverting prescriptive messages about women’s safety. We have always been inspired by poetry and performance in all forms, so spoken word with improvisational accompaniment felt like a natural extension of our art.”
Last week the band were announced as support for Olivia Rodrigo when she takes “The Unravelled Tour” to Los Angeles and New York in January and February 2027. All eight dates are now sold out. The band previously supported Rodrigo at her BST Hyde Park show back in June 2025.
