Controversy
On 26 March 2023, as Aurora concluded her performance at Lollapalooza Brasil, her drummer, Sigmund Vestrheim, gestured with his hands in a manner that some social media users interpreted as a white supremacist dog whistle.[9] Two days later, online examination of Vestrheim's Instagram revealed what some users claimed were additional instances of dog whistles and Nazi symbolism, including a drawing featuring the numbers 777 and a swastika.[10] Aurora addressed the situation on her social media, stating that none of her band members support right-wing ideologies and denying that the drummer had any connection to hate movements.[9] A few days later, Aurora announced that Vestrheim would be replaced for the upcoming shows of the tour in Mexico, citing safety concerns.[11][12] In an interview with VG, Aurora confirmed that the drummer would be returning to the band and dismissed the accusations as "absurd," describing them as "nonsense and a waste of time."[12]
