Σtella
Event Information
<p style="text-align: center;">Born Stella Chronopoulou, Σtella is an Athens-raised pop artist whose sleek, melodic songwriting has made her one of modern Greece’s most notable musical exports. She grew up just above the city in a quiet, rural suburb—an easy going backdrop that subtly colours her warm, unhurried aesthetic—before settling near downtown Athens.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Following her Sub Pop debut Up and Away (2022), she surged past three million monthly Spotify listeners, underscoring her international reach. Adagio (out April 4, 2025) is Σtella’s fifth album and a warm, 27-minute meditation on love, rest, and time—sleek pop wrapped in nylon-string guitars and featherlight percussion.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Its spark came during an 11-hour ferry ride to Anafi in 2019, when she sketched the first ideas that would later become “Omorfo Mou,” marking her first time singing in Greek alongside a tender cover of Litsa Sakellariou’s 1969 classic “Ta Vimata.” Written over five years with international collaborators—including !!!’s Rafael Cohen and songwriter Gabriel Stebbing—Adagio was produced by Σtella and mixed by Edmund Irwin-Singer. Highlights span the title track’s love letter to slowness, the breezy “Baby Brazil,” the sweeping “80 Days,” the instrumental “Corfu,” and the sashaying “Can I Say.”</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY DECEMBER 5 11AM (LOCAL)</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Presale: Thursday, 4 December at 10am (local) - Friday, 5 December 10am (local)</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>For complete tour and ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au </strong></p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/production-api-file-upload/uploads%2Fclient-21173%2Fevent-description%2F1764624561918-Stella-MT-750x270.jpg" style="width: 570px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></p>
