Zénith La Villette in Paris, FR — February 25, 2026

British sensations, The Last Dinner Party brought their “From the Pyre” tour to Paris to perform for a sold-out crowd of over 6,000 people. The Last Dinner Party’s sophomore album, From the Pyre was released last October and fans and the band alike were excited to have it performed live on a headline tour. With intricate stage design, The Last Dinner Party gave a high-energy show for more than an hour and a half, performing songs from their two albums, such as “Count The Ways” or “The Feminine Urge,” as well as the unreleased but already loved “Big Dog.”

A few months after their last performance in the French capital for Lollapalooza festival, the band was excited to come back with a proper headline tour, and one thing’s for sure: the fans were ready to welcome them back. Complimented multiple times throughout the concert as being their loudest crowd to date, the French fans weren’t shy in their demonstrations of love for the band. With a special project during “On Your Side,” during which red hearts were held up, the fans made sure to make the band feel at home and uplifted. The band was even brought to tears several times by how supportive the crowd was, with its loud cheers and heart signs. Paris is a special place for lead singer Abigail Morris, as this is where their song “Inferno” was born—their only song written internationally.

The Last Dinner Party gets a lot of support from fans, and they make sure to give it back to the community. The band has created a campaign called Ribbons for Provisions, which raises money for different food banks in every city they go to. For the Paris show, they collaborated with Serve the City. Additionally, they recently released a single titled, “Let’s Do It Again” under War Child Records, for their collaborative album, HELP(2). This charity album, featuring a variety of artists, was created to raise funds to aid children all over the world affected by conflicts. French fans were lucky to see it performed for the very first time.

There is no doubt The Last Dinner Party are born performers—the energy never once faltered as they closed off the show with their famous “Nothing Matters,” before coming back for an encore with “This is the Killer Speaking,” where lead singer Abigail Morris even took the time to teach the crowd a choreography.
