Anika Nilles Announces First Ever Australian Tour in November/December 2025
Award-winning fusion drummer Anika Nilles has announced her first ever Australian tour with her full six-piece band, Nevell, celebrating the release of her fourth album ‘False Truth’, coming September 12th.
Germany’s Anika Nilles may not have taken up the sticks professionally until she turned 26, but she has never looked back. From world tours with Jeff Beck, to her own sold out shows and multiple award wins, she has reached over 20 million views online for her creative and thrilling performances.
Playing with sophistication, style and a musical finesse that is rarely witnessed behind the drums, she is an inspiration to drummers around the world. Fierce and determined, she pours over her kit creating melodies through rhythmic complexities that normally sit within other sections of the band. This is no drum machine keeping the beat, this is percussive instrumentation on a whole new level.
Anika’s sound is a melting pot of influences ranging from Jazz, Funk, Rock, Pop, and anything in-between. Her vibrant personality as a performer is etched on her face as she explores every opportunity to build a new narrative from behind the drum riser.
