Omnihanded Entertainmet News | The Last Dinner Party announce 2025-2026 tour of UK, Europe and Australia

The Last Dinner Party have announced a tour of the UK, Europe and Australia that will kick off in November 2025. Check out full details below.

The BRIT Award-winning band are preparing to release their second studio album ‘From The Pyre’ on October 17 via Island Records, and they recently shared lead single ‘This Is The Killer Speaking’.

Now, the London five-piece have announced an extensive tour to support the record. After a run of already sold out in store events around the UK in October, they will play a run of UK and Ireland headline shows in November, starting at Dublin’s 3Arena on November 14.

That run concludes with two huge shows at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on December 7 and 8, before they head to Australia for a run of dates in January. In February, they begin a tour of Europe, finishing up in Oslo on March 6.

Tickets for all shows go on general sale at 10am local time on September 12 and you can get your UK and European tickets here. Fans who pre-order the album here also will be offered access to a tour pre-sale which will be held at 10am on September 9.

Writing on Instagram, the band wrote: “We’re bringing our travelling troupe of mythmakers to the world, with a brand new show full of chaos, catharsis and light!”

‘From The Pyre’ is set to be the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2023 debut album ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’, which NME awarded four stars, saying the band captured “enough self-belief and magnetism to set them apart from what’s come before.”

Speaking about the new album, the band have said: “This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light.

“The songs are character-driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the apocalypse.”

Earlier this year, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Lizzie Mayland – now going by L.Mayland – told NME about what fans can expect from upcoming Last Dinner Party music, saying that their latest run of material is inspired by “darker themes” and “processing heavier emotions”.

“It’s a pretty dark time, so I think that is reflected in the music because we’re in touch with the world,” Mayland added. “It’s not all sad, though; there are some bops as well! It’s not all downbeat either – they’re fun, angry songs. I won’t go into too much detail, though; you’ll have to wait and see.”

While at the BRITS 2025 this year, where they took home the award for Best New Artist, the band also dropped some hints to NME about the upcoming album.

“Hopefully new music [is coming soon],” said frontwoman Abigail Morris. “We’re working on it at the moment and it feels really good to be creating again after touring again for so long.”

She continued: “We’re approaching the second album the same way we approached the first album, which is by doing what we want to do without any pressures or expectations. Obviously, there is a little bit of anxiety about the sophomore thing, but we’re just sticking to what we want to do. It’s about doing what feels right for now.” You can watch that interview in full via the video above.

How to Unlock End to Dumbest Slumber

In order to tackle the Soundest of Sleepers prophecy in Hades 2, you have to complete three incantations. To access them, you first need to speak to Hypnos whenever you’re in the Crossroads. You need to gift him two bottles of Nectar and collect at least one Poppy, which is obtained by gathering Poppy Seeds and planting them in your garden at the Crossroads. The main NPC that you need to speak to is Medea in Ephyra, which is the first region when you’re attempting a surface run.

Medea is your go-to NPC for this questline.

Completing these steps will unlock the End to Deepest Slumber incantation, which can be accessed from the cauldron. You’ll need one Molly, two Mandrake, and three Poppy flowers to complete it. Once that’s done, you’ll gain a Dream Vapor. Go ahead and gift it to Hypnos, and this will start a dream sequence.

During early access, the Olympic Update added the End to Dearest Slumber incantation. It has the same requirements as the previous one (albeit with an additional Mandrake), and you’ll once again enter Hypnos’ dream sequence. Sadly, this won’t be enough to wake him up, as there’s a third and final incantation.

As with everything in Hades 2, it might take you a few runs to actually see progress with conversations. Make sure to always be speaking to Medea when she’s available in Ephyra, and she’ll eventually unlock the incantations for you. Also, we have a guide covering all material sources in Hades 2 in case you need some help in that regard.

How to Get Soot for the End to Dumbest Slumber Incantation

Once you’ve completed both End to Deepest Slumber and End to Dearest Slumber, you’ll gain access to End to Dumbest Slumber. This requires two Poppy flowers, one Shaderot, and one Soot. The problem is that there’s no indication of where to find Soot.

In short, if you’re wondering how to get Soot in Hades 2, you first need to beat the main story. Without spoiling too much, you must have seen the game’s credits once. Then, you have to do a couple of underworld runs and, when you’re rummaging through the last region before the final boss, make sure to visit the NPC room when it becomes available. It took me three runs until the room appeared, but this may differ on your end. Then, gift at least one Nectar bottle to said NPC.

You won’t be able to get your hands on Soot until you hit the game’s credits.

After speaking to said NPC, they will (quite unceremoniously) give you Soot, as well as a Keepsake. Once you’re back at the Crossroads, go ahead and tackle the incantation. All that is left to do is to gift Hypnos a Dream Vapor and watch another dream sequence. This will conclude the End to Dumbest Slumber incantation, which in turn will finally wake up Hypnos in Hades 2.

Now, go ahead and claim your reward from the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. You’ll receive two Nightmares for your trouble, which is a rare material. If you’re wondering what to use it for, we have an extensive guides hub to answer all of your Hades 2 questions.
