Unlike most virtuosos, Nilles didn’t take up drumming professionally until she was 26. Within a decade, she’s become an international force, blending jazz, funk, rock and pop influences into her own signature style. With a fiercely melodic approach to the kit, she’s transformed drumming from “just keeping time” into an expressive, storytelling instrument.
For this first ever Australian run, Nilles is joined by her full band Nevell – a six-piece ensemble who match her rhythmic firepower with lush harmonies and technical mastery. Together, they deliver an immersive live show that’s as much about emotion and energy as it is about chops. Whether you’re a seasoned drummer or just someone who loves live music at its most dynamic, this tour promises something unforgettable.
With her fearless energy and infectious stage presence, Anika Nilles is set to inspire Australian audiences the same way she’s captivated fans across the globe.
