Anyone know about this singer,, she's Norwegian and seems VERY popular 

Not sure if she's Glastonbury hut definitely like to see her.

[-TLR-]

pretty sure i stumbled accross her last year at The Park... i had no idea who i was watching so asked the nearest person and i'm fairly certain the answer was Aurora...

[Gnomicide]

She's played in 2024 (Park), 2019 and 2016 (both JP).

I saw her perform at the last Leopolloza (sp) festival in Cornwall a couple of years ago. Was mildly disappointed TBH, was expecting a sort of Grimes type thing, but she’s nowhere near as good. 
 

Having said that she would fit Glastonbury no problem, mid afternoon/early evening Park or WH

Sang a song from the film Frozen i believe?

my daughter was a big fan and I went with her to see her in concert about 5 years ago...and not really my cup of tea, bit too fairydust and out there, but the crowd adored her, and she's definitely got something.

one of her songs is played at the end of Adolescence if you've seen that.

and it’s my favourite of her songs. A suitable end to a devastating watch. 
 

Saw Aurora play in Melbourne last month. She was stunning, as always. Almost magical at moments.

She is at Wilderness at the beginning of August, not sure what other dates she has lined up.

She’s terrific. Done Glastonbury three times, twice on the JP and last year on the park. One of my favourites from last year. Her songs. Especially from her first album are haunting and unique. Very underrated artist

I managed to completely miss anything about her until she played The Park stage in 2024, but her Royal Albert Hall gig in October was my gig of the year for last year. Her interviews are always fun to watch too 😄

Just by the descriptions, I'm going to say not my cup of tea

Like the interview  she did with the bbc last year at Glastonbury! 

[Ben7amin_]

One of the acts that id really like to catch but yet have not managed too

[kalifire]

Her collab with Jacob was really good as well.

I also saw this & really enjoyed it, rained most of the weekend & a lot had gone home by the time of her set!

As others have said, she was excellent on The Park last year. Some brilliant songs (Runaway, Conflict of the Mind and Running with the Wolves are my favourites - don’t judge her on that Frozen song 😂).  She comes across as very likeable as well and she seemed genuinely quite overwhelmed to be performing to a big crowd.  I enjoyed how different it was from most of the other acts I saw last year. I doubt she’ll be back again this year so soon after her last performance.

Did you manage to get into the backstage/VIP bar. I did four DJ sets there that year. 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Stumbled across her in John Peel in 2019, thought she was magnificent. Went to see her at Usher Hall in Edinburgh last year, she’s definitely very good. Usher Hall was sold out, so think her star is on the rise.

Yes, seen all her three glastonbury appearances and three times in Glasgow, the first of them in the Glasgow art school back in 2016. Well thought of by other artists including Billie Eilish. Her Norwegian contemporary, Sigrid, took a more pop route into music and that’s why she’s probably had more commercial success.

Covered half the world away and it was used for a John lewis Xmas add, I think. That's about all I know

No, unfortunately not but it was a great little festival! Looking forward to The Wyldes line up!

Aurora has been on the rise for years.

 

Has 6m YouTube subs. 14m+ monthly Spotify listeners.

 

She's played the RAH, and Glastonbury a few times. She's performed at the Oscars.

And she's about the play Wembley Arena...!

First memory I have of seeing her was when she sang Conquerer on the Andrew Marr politics show on a Sunday morning, must be 9 or 10 years ago!  Been a fan ever since.
