Ahead of their upcoming 2026 Australian tour, The Last Dinner Party have revealed American indie rockers Sir Chloe have been enlisted as the support act.
Sir Chloe began as the moniker of Dana Foote, who created Sir Chloe in 2017 while studying music composition. The band blew up with the release of their single ‘Michelle’, which went viral on TikTok.
Inspired by the likes of PJ Harvey, David Byrne and Radiohead, Sir Chloe merges grungy guitars with pop melodies, crafting emotionally vibrant tracks showcasing her raw vocal style.
Sir Chloe’s debut album, 2023’s I Am the Dog, was critically acclaimed, with The Line of Best Fit writing that the album consists of “paradoxical narratives and kaleidoscopic soundscapes.” They followed up this year with their second album, Swallow the Knife, which Pitchfork wrote in their review, “channels messy experiences of depression and recovery into a tight, crunchy indie-rock package.”
Joining The Last Dinner Party on their Australian and New Zealand tour, Sir Chloe will perform alongside the band at all shows, starting with the first concert at Red Hill Auditorium in Perth/Boorloo on Saturday 10 January.
The tour continues with dates at AEC Theatre in Adelaide/Tarntanya Wama (Tuesday 13 January), Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne/Naarm (Thursday 15 January), ICC Sydney Theatre in Sydney/Warrane (Saturday 17 January) and Riverstage in Brisbane/Meeanjin (Monday 19 January), with the final concert taking place at Spark Arena in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau on Thursday 22 January.

The Last Dinner Party’s sophomore album From The Pyre arrives Friday 17 October via Island EMI (pre-order here). Recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Markus Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence & The Machine, Björk), the album follows the band’s UK #1 album Prelude to Ecstasy.
Speaking about the LP, the band 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. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss the way our experiences felt, giving each the emotional weight it deserves.
“This record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime landscape rather than seated an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.”
