Indie-Pop & R&B Artist Lily Stiven Announces First Ever Headline Show at Auckland’s Big Fan

18-year-old singer-songwriter Lily Stiven is stepping into the spotlight with her debut headline show at Big Fan, Auckland on Friday, October 3rd. Blending bold indie-pop energy with soulful R&B undertones, Lily has already carved out a reputation as one of Aotearoa’s most magnetic new artists. This debut headline show marks a defining milestone in her fast-rising career.

The night will also celebrate the release of her brand-new single Not My Own dropping the very same day (Friday, October 3rd). Capturing the growth and edge of her evolving sound, the track will take centre stage as fans get to experience it live for the first time.

A natural storyteller, Lily has been turning heads since her early teens – becoming a three-time Play It Strange finalist, steadily building a catalogue of striking singles, and cultivating a growing fanbase that connects with her honesty. In 2023, she secured the NZ On Air Artist Development Fund, cementing her place as an artist with both exceptional talent and undeniable potential.

On stage, Lily’s performances are intimate yet electrifying. Her songs range from the tender vulnerability of william’s tragedy to the upbeat vibe of ‘look where i am’ and the bold Pop-R&B edge of what’s the worst i could do, before introducing Not My Own to the world, showcasing her versatility and artistic fearlessness.

Already carving out her name in New Zealand, Lily Stiven isn’t just another new act – she’s a force in the making, ready to light up the stage.
