[ATTENDED: June 2, 2022] Aurora
This is my fourth time seeing Aurora. When I saw her in 2018, she was barely known here and I thought she might never play the States again. Well, three tours later, she has sold out one of the larger venues in Philadelphia. Good for her, but not so great for us.
The place was packed and we arrived late enough that we were stuck way in the back. And Aurora has a fan base that is quite…intense. So there was lots of shrieking and such. There was also a lot of talking off to the side–drunken idiots who needed to talk loudly despite everyone shushing them (but they also knew all the words so they were fans, wtf).
So I was annoyed when the show started, which is a shame because the show itself was pretty amazing.
She had really upped her production since the last tour, with big screens of dancers behind her. My wife was really excited to go for some fun poppy dancing. I joked that it was going to be an all acoustic mellow show.
And I’m surprised to say that my joke almost came true, kind of.
The show opened with the gothy, spooky Churchyard (more…)
