Once you’ve truly opened up you’ll find a version of yourself you thought was gone. And it will be beautiful.”Later this year, AURORA will be playing a series of live shows across her native Norway.Set to kick off in spring 2024, the tour will consist of eight dates across the country and kick off on March 3 with an opening date in Hamar.
