AURORA – Live from The Hordern

Secret Sounds is excited to reveal that Norwegian alt-pop singer, songwriter and producer AURORA is returning to Australia in February 2025, set to light up stages in Fremantle, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane with her spell-binding live performance.

AURORA will take over The Hordern, right here at The Entertainment Quarter on Saturdya 8th February 2025. Tickets on sale now.

The anticipated tour follows the release of AURORA’s celebrated fourth studio album, What Happened To The Heart? which dropped 7 June via Glassnote Records. The album, described by AURORA as being the “most personal and cathartic” she has ever written, features dance-heavy opus ‘Starvation’, crowd-ready anthem ‘Some Type Of Skin’ and the blissfully profound ‘Your Blood’.

A true original, AURORA has used her songs to stand up for climate change and LGBTQIA+ rights to exploring the vulnerabilities of love and embracing being yourself. Her heavenly sounds have connected with people all over the globe, with her otherworldly vocals and soaring melodies capturing hearts far and wide. She has amassed more than 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, her songs have been streamed an incredible 3.3 billion times and she’s sold over a million albums worldwide.

Since bursting into the limelight in 2015 with her debut EP Running With The Wolves, AURORA has toured the world multiple times over, been listed by Rolling Stone as one of ten new artists you should know about, collaborated with artists like The Chemical Brothers, performed at the Academy Awards and appeared as a guest on US TV shows The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers. 

Billboard even called her “One of the most fascinating people currently making music”, which was evident in her iconic interview with triple j which went viral for her incredibly candid charm and endearing eccentricities. AURORA has also racked up over 16M views of her epic triple j Like A Version cover of Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’, one of the most streamed songs of the series ever.

 AURORA’s latest offering, What Happened To The Heart? continues this powerful trajectory. The record is a journey from weakness to strength, from self-destruction to self-healing. A poignant and introspective musical journey that explores the loss of spiritual connection in modern society, the healing power of vulnerability and the call to ignite change through reuniting the heart with politics and personal growth.

AURORA’s anticipated Australian dates are part of her What Happened To The Earth? world tour, which will see her touch hearts across Europe, the UK and North America before bringing her ethereal tones down under.
