The What Happened to the Earth? was the fifth concert tour by Norwegian singer and songwriter Aurora, in support of her fifth studio album What Happened to the Heart? (2024). The tour commenced on 26 June 2024 in Dublin, Ireland, and concluded on 15 November 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico, spanning nearly 90 shows through Europe, Latin America, North America, Asia, and Australia.

The tour was announced alongside the album on 28 March 2024,[2] with the first European leg confirmed and tickets going on general sale on 5 April. Fans who pre-ordered the album were given early access through an exclusive pre-sale link two days prior.[3][4]
On 14 May, Aurora revealed the North American dates via her official website and social media channels,[5] followed by the announcement of a Latin American leg on 27 May[6][7]—marking her first full arena tour. Australian and Japanese dates were confirmed on 13 and 21 August, respectively.[8][9] Further shows in Asia, including stops in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Seoul, and Hong Kong, were announced on 22 October.[10] Dates in China followed on 16 December,[11] with general ticket sales beginning on 20 December.[12]
The final leg of the tour, returning to Europe in 2025, was announced later that year,[13] with general tickets going on sale from 12 June 2024.[14] On 23 June, Aurora was also confirmed as a headliner for Norway's Piknik i Parken and Bergenfest festivals.[15][16]
Prior to starting her headlining tour, Aurora made several festival appearances in Europe and Asia to promote her album What Happened to the Heart?. She appeared at Glastonbury in the United Kingdom, where her set was widely praised by critics.[17][18][19] The following week, she performed at the Roskilde in Denmark.[20] She also headlined Ravnedalen Live in Norway.[21] Aurora made other appearances including at Sziget in Hungary,[22] Paléo in Switzerland,[23] NOS Alive in Portugal,[24] and Summer Sonic in Japan and Thailand.[25]
Commercial performance
Set to draw approximately 300,000 attendees across 58 solo dates,[1] the tour marked Aurora's transition from theater venues to larger arenas and music halls. Tickets for the Paris date sold out in 10 minutes,[26] and due to high demand, additional dates were added at the Beacon Theatre in New York and the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane.[27][28]
During the Latin American leg, Aurora performed the largest headline show of her career with a sold-out audience of 18,000 at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City.[29][30] Her tour manager, Nicolas Izzo, reported that nearly 40,000 people attended the three shows held in Mexico.[31] In November, it was reported that more than 60,000 people attended the first European leg of the tour.[32] Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende noted that Aurora attracted a large international audience to the Bergenfest ahead of her performance.[33]
On 11 February 2025, Aurora set a new attendance record at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne, where she performed to a sold-out crowd of 7,062—making it the highest single-day attendance for an entertainment event at the venue.[34][35]
