The Last Dinner Party Release 'Big Dog' With Spoken-Word Intro and First Production Credit

The studio cut signals a turn toward self-production, cementing a longtime live favorite.

Overview

  • The band issued the studio version of 'Big Dog' on Friday alongside the spoken-word piece 'Come All You Beasts'.
  • 'Big Dog' is co-produced by The Last Dinner Party with Animesh Raval, marking the group's first production credit.
  • Bassist Georgia Davies said the poem frames the song’s folklore-rich world and weaves in Bible verses to challenge rules about women’s safety.
  • The release arrives mid–US headline tour running to mid-June, followed by UK festival slots including Isle of Wight, TRNSMT, Latitude, a Wolf Alice support at Finsbury Park, and a first festival headline at Wilderness.
  • The group continues its Ribbons for Provisions tour initiative, reporting nearly £50,000 raised in the UK and Europe and more than $40,000 in the US for local food banks.
