About Fan Club

Winners of the 2025 BurgerFuel Battle of the Bands and the 2023 Auckland Central Smokefree Rockquest, Fan Club is a rising force in New Zealand’s indie-rock scene. Hailing from Auckland, the band released their debut EP Towards the Sun in July 2024, marking a bold first statement of their unique sound.

“My favourite part about witnessing Fan Club was the immediate recognition that they were a band with a clearly unified sound and aesthetic. They sounded uniquely like themselves, yet also drew from the grunge palette of Nirvana, the dreamy modern pop of Wolf Alice, and the kiwi indie charm akin to The Beths.”

They've already supported a string of top local and international acts, including Park Road, Ekko Park, Coast Arcade, Borderline, Tablefox, Georgia Lines, and Wet Denim.In 2025, they opened for Aussie legends Ball Park Music at their exclusive New Zealand show at The Tuning Fork—further establishing Fan Club as the go-to support act for touring indie bands in Auckland.
