British indie singer Nieve Ella is releasing her debut album, «How Long Will It Take?». On November 22, 2026, she will perform the new songs live at Exil in Zurich.
At a young age, Nieve Ella auditioned for «Britain’s Got Talent» twice. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful both times. During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, the artist – who hails from the Wolverhampton area – picked up her late father’s old guitar and taught herself to play. Shortly thereafter, she wrote her first song, «Four Years Gone», in which she processed her personal grief.
Her music reached a wider audience via TikTok. This was followed by a contract with AWAL and the release of the song «Girlfriend». The 23-year-old has now amassed more than 20 million streams, has been featured multiple times on BBC Radio 1 playlists, and has received positive reviews from a wide range of music media outlets.
On «How Long Will It Take?», Nieve Ella explores the challenges of early adulthood. The songs deal with personal changes, relationships, and the struggle to find one’s place in life. Rather than offering ready-made answers, she focuses on the questions and uncertainties that many people face during this phase.
On Sunday, November 22, 2026, Nieve Ella will perform her debut album at Exil Zurich. Advance ticket sales begin on August 7 at 10 a.m. Members of the Ticketcorner Live Club will have early access to tickets starting August 5 at 10 a.m.
