Queen’s Brian May had high praise for The Last Dinner Party after attending a recent show in London. The all-girl baroque-pop group burst onto the scene last year, embarking on a limited tour with only a handful of songs at the time. Now, they have a full-length album under their belts, and they’re selling out venues left and right.

According to May’s recent Instagram post, the band—Abigail Morris, Emily Roberts, Georgia Davies, Aurora Nishevci, and Lizzie Mayland—invited May to their show at the Eventim Apollo on October 16. He attended, and had nothing but praise for the emerging band.
“I got to meet the new British Rock Royalty tonight – The Last Dinner Party – and they completely smashed it tonight at the Eventim Apollo,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself with the band. “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.”
