The Last Dinner Party have shared their new single Big Dog.

Co-produced alongside Animesh Raval, the song is described as "a dark, forceful and almost PJ Harvey shaped three minutes of leftfield art-pop."

The music is also released alongside a spoken word piece Come All You Beasts, which they regularly recite before performing the the track.

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."

The band's new releases come as the band are in the midst of their US headline tour, which will run until mid June before they return for dates at the likes of Isle of Wight Festival, TRNSMT and Latitude Festival.

The Nothing Matters rockers will also play a supporting set at Wolf Alice's milestone headline date at Finsbury Park, before playing their first festival headline slot at Wilderness.

The band have also been announced as support for Olivia Rodrigo when she takes The Unravelled Tour to Los Angeles and New York in January and February 2027, marking a full circle moment for the band who previously supported Rodrigo at BEST Hyde PArk back in June 2025.

Last month The Last Dinner Party hosted The Market Place at The MáLà Project, Brooklyn where they invited a hand-picked selection of local artists and creatives to exhibit and sell their work, offering a unique platform to help introduce new and established artists to a new audience.

The band have also continued their Ribbons for Provisions project throughout their current US tour, supporting local food banks in each of the cities they’ve visited with ribbons handed out to volunteers and donors.

The band recently raised almost £50,000 for the initiative in the UK and Europe and have already raised over $40,000 and counting in the US.

Secret 7” takes seven tracks from some of the world’s best-known musicians, with every song being pressed just 100 times onto seven-inch vinyl, creating 700 limited-edition 7” records. Artists, designers, illustrators and creatives from around the world then create a completely original sleeve inspired by a track of their choice, turning each vinyl into a one-of-a-kind collectible. Previous editions have included sleeves by some of our greatest living artists and designers, including Ai Weiwei, Yoko Ono, Anish Kapoor, and Es Devlin.

Across nine editions to date, Secret 7” has raised over £900,000, supporting War Child’s vital work protecting, educating, and standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been torn apart by war. 100% of proceeds from Secret 7” go directly to War Child’s work, including in the Middle East where an estimated 102 million children are at risk due to the escalating violence. War Child and its local partners are mobilising to reach as many of these children as possible with life-saving emergency assistance, protection, and mental health first-aid.
