He wrote: “I got to meet the new British Rock Royalty tonight – The Last Dinner Party – and they completely smashed it tonight at the Eventim Apollo. What a great show! What a joy!!! Thanks Emily for inviting me. That was just what I needed – a good ol’ dose of Rock Tonic. Folks, you have to see these guys!”
Later, he shared a clip of his view during the concert while The Last Dinner Party performed their final song of the night, ‘Nothing Matters’, as confetti filled the venue.
May’s support for The Last Dinner Party comes shortly after his bandmate Roger Taylor teased the possibility of new Queen music after 30 years: “Brian [May] and myself were talking the other day, and we both said that if we feel we have some good material, why not? We can still play. We can still sing. So I don’t see why not.”

The Last Dinner Party will soon be your new favourite band. They look like a gang of feral Catholic schoolgirl misfits who have staged a rebellion, raided the drama club’s wardrobe room and are throwing a goth party on the hockey pitch. The band are set to embark on their UK and European tour in the coming weeks too – kicking off on January 30 with a slot at The Fleece venue in Bristol. From there they will play the Roundhouse show before continuing with a run of record store dates and live shows in Germany, France, Italy and more.
Recently at Brits Awards, the band shared their love for St Vincent after the musician praised the band.
“She’s a crafter of amazing songs and riffs which we love. And I play her guitar!” said guitarist Emily Roberts, going on to explain how the influence of St Vincent can be heard in ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’: “Particularly in ‘Sinner’. One of her songs called ‘Marrow’ [featured the collaborative album with David Byrne, ‘Brass Tactics’] inspired the guitar line for ‘Sinner’ that I wrote,” she said. “So she’s a big inspo!”
