The Last Dinner Party took to the Great Oak Stage last Friday (27 June 2025) at BST Hyde Park<\/strong><\/a> as the penultimate act to perform before Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong><\/a>, and they made the moment their own. As someone who is relatively unfamiliar with the London quintet, I truly enjoyed their unique indie-pop rock and was instantly inspired to get more acquainted with the band\u2019s music.<\/p>\n

The setlist varied in music style, each with rich vocal harmonies, fancy guitar flourishes, and all wrapped in a dramatic flair. I was instantly sensing a combination of Kate Bush and David Bowie influences, with the more contemporary flamboyance of artists like Chappell Roan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

What was really refreshing about the performance was their floaty physical expression whilst performing. Their movements are far from choreographed, instead embracing an innate, flowing energy \u2013 I truly saw several women on stage who view performing as something to take enjoyment from, and it was infectious to watch them find humour amongst themselves as they made their way through their set. Between songs, the banter and playful interactions from Abigail Morris only added to their charm \u2013 you could feel how much fun they were having.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to make such a large stage feel personal, but intimate moments, such as Lizzie Mayland shouting out to her grandad \u2013 as it was the first time he had seen her perform \u2013 really connected the band to the audience.<\/p>\n

For their final song, \u2018Nothing Matters\u2019, the audience joined them in theatrical, carefree dancing, clearly inspired by the band\u2019s infectious energy. Watching the couples in the audience dance romantically in the summer sunset to this last song is a memory I will treasure from my first summer in London. BST Hyde Park was my short introduction to The Last Dinner Party and now\u2026 I am craving seconds. (The Last Dinner\u2026 craving seconds\u2026 Get it?!) And judging by the audience reception, I\u2019m not the only one late to this particular party and hungry for more.<\/p>\n
