Buzzing British band The Last Dinner Party have been crowned winners of BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2024, following their BRITs Rising Star win.

Signed to Island, the band is the first guitar act to win the award, which tips new acts for success, since Haim in 2013. They signed to UMG U.K. in early 2022 and have since supported The Rolling Stones in Hyde Park.

Their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, which has been worked on with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Haim), is due out in February.

Runners up for BBC Sound of 2024 are singer and songwriter Olivia Dean (EMI) at #2, DJ Peggy Gou (XL) at #3, South African artist Tyla (Epic) at #4 and soul artist Elmiene (Polydor/Def Jam) at #5.
