The Last Dinner Party Thrills Crowd at Rock en Seine

On August 22, the all-female band The Last Dinner Party performed at the Rock en Seine music festival in Paris, captivating a crowd that filled two-thirds of the lawn by their 4:35 pm set time. The quintet, which has garnered significant attention from the British press for their debut album *Prelude to Ecstasy*, showcased their eclectic sound that blends cabaret-pop, glam-rock, and playful pop. Lead singer Abigail Morris, alongside her bandmates, delivered a dynamic performance featuring tracks like "Caesar on a TV Screen," "Sinner," and a cover of Blondie's "Call Me," all of which resonated with the enthusiastic audience. Following The Last Dinner Party, the festival shifted gears with a more rock-oriented lineup. Kasabian, known for their evolution from Oasis-inspired rock to a mix of pop and electronic influences, took the stage with lead singer Sergio Pizzorno delivering an energetic set. The festival also featured performances from American bands Dead Poet Society and Durry, as well as the English group Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, all contributing to a day filled with distorted guitars and assertive vocals. The Hives, a Swedish band with a long-standing presence in the rock scene, also made a notable appearance. Dressed in their signature black-and-white suits, they energized the crowd with their high-octane performance, encouraging audience participation and showcasing their enduring appeal since their formation in 1993. Rock en Seine continues to celebrate diverse musical talent, drawing fans from across Europe to experience a blend of emerging and established artists.
