Trafalgar Releasing, Mercury Studios, and Fontana are thrilled to announce the upcoming worldwide theatrical debut of AURORA: What Happened To The Earth?, a captivating concert film that marks a milestone in the career of the Norwegian alt-pop sensation. This groundbreaking film captures AURORA’s largest-ever solo performance—a sold-out show for 18,000 fans at Mexico City’s iconic Palacio de los Deportes—offering audiences an immersive experience of her unique artistry.
A Historic Night in Mexico City
Filmed on Día de los Muertos, a day rich with cultural significance, AURORA’s performance turned the arena into a mesmerizing space of sound and light. Dressed in festive attire, fans created an atmosphere of celebration, connecting deeply with her ethereal voice and vivid storytelling. The concert features haunting ballads like “Dreams” and “Exist for Love,” alongside fan favorites such as “Runaway,” “The Seed,” and “Churchyard.” Beyond the spectacular visuals, the film includes exclusive interviews with fans—members of her dedicated community, affectionately known as the “Warriors and Weirdos”—highlighting the profound bond between artist and audience.
A Personal Reflection from AURORA
Expressing her excitement, AURORA shared, “In 2024 I did my largest solo show of my whole career in Mexico. It was a dream come true, especially since a large crowd like that could also be so quiet. And so still. It felt intimate even though the faces of the crowd stretched so far around the whole arena. All those people, gathered around the stage, just because they love music. We knew it was going to be special, so we decided to make a film of it. With all of us, and all of you. And I hope you like it.”
A Global Release with a Vision
The film’s release is set to begin in cinemas worldwide on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Tickets will go on sale starting Thursday, January 22 at 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST / 2:00 PM GMT at auroraincinemas.com. Fans are encouraged to visit the website for updates and to be among the first to view the official trailer.
Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, expressed enthusiasm about the project: “We are pleased to partner again with Mercury to bring AURORA’s debut feature film to cinemas around the globe. This exceptional 4K remaster takes an amazing concert and elevates it to another level. Audiences will be mesmerized worldwide.”
Tom Lewis, President of Fontana, added, “AURORA is a truly global artist, and this concert exemplifies her universal appeal. This is an exhilarating, euphoric, and beautiful performance—another landmark moment for her career and a testament to her extraordinary international fanbase. It’s a reminder of the borderless power of her message and music.”
A Celebrated Artistic Vision
Directed by Gonzalo Lopez and remastered in stunning 4K resolution, the film offers viewers an intimate yet epic experience of AURORA’s artistry.
