Photo Review: The Last Dinner Party at Hammerstein Ballroom

Florence Road

Florence Road should be on everyone’s radar. The group opened for The Last Dinner Party on Saturday, April 25th, at Hammerstein Ballroom. These four brought rock, passion and dancing to the scene. The perfect kickoff for The Last Dinner Party. They graced our presence in New York City all the way from Ireland, bringing some home with them for the vibes, rain with them on the perfect city night. I can’t speak for everyone, but safe to say we all need them back again and we are extremely thankful they ended up in front of us that night. Not only does Lily Aron have a voice that is out of this world, Ailbhe Barry brought depth with the bass, Hannah Kelly beat the drums to our heartbeats and emotions that were being pulled out of our heart strings and Emma Brandon’s guitar. All around an amazing opener that will be headlining their own tour soon enough. An honorable mention for their song “Miss.”

The Last Dinner Party

Conversations surrounding the excitement of having a theatrical show that can sometimes be missed before the show even started had the crowd on the edge of our seats, or standing GA. The Last Dinner Party was the main act at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on April 25th, 2026. With fans dressed and decorated to the nines, and a barricade that knew exactly what they were in for, this group delivered higher than anyone’s expectations. With stage presence of a goddess, Abigail Morris showed us the star she is. Band mates Emily Roberts, Lizzie Maryland and Aurora Nishevci play as one. Georgia Davies, off from tour due to an injury, was toasted to by everyone in the audience for a beautiful moment. Max Lilley stood in for Georgia and didn’t miss a beat. If you did not know Max was not a member of the band, there would be no way to tell. Max deserved a spotlight, and The Last Dinner Party could not have asked for a better guest performer on this tour. Every song brought beauty, electricity and power to the sold-out room that night.
