Norwegian alt-pop superstar AURORA announces her fourth studio album ‘What Happened To The Heart?’, due for release on June 7th. The announcement comes hand in hand with news of her UK/EU tour, which begins in September, and includes her biggest UK headline show to date at the Royal Albert Hall in London. ‘What Happened To The Heart?’ is a journey from weakness to strength, from self-destruction to self-healing.

From the deep woods now emerges Birna, Wardruna’s sixth studio album. Through his never resting dialogue with nature, main composer Einar Selvik has been searching for the voice of the bear. Birna – the she-bear in Old Norse – is a work of art dedicated to the warden of the forest, nature’s caretaker, and her battles here on earth.

HEILUNG don’t play “shows”. They perform a ritual. Christopher Juul, Maria Franz, Kai Uwe Faust and their Nordic collective sweep audiences into rapture with throat singing, primordial rhythms, subtle electronic textures, a mesmerizing light show, an army of warriors and bursts of fire. What better place on earth to experience their ancient ritual than the Red Rocks Amphitheatre? The world-famous venue - which is located outside of Denver, Colorado in the USA, tucked between two giant sandstones - was once home to indigenous tribes. When HEILUNG performed there in October 2021, they recognized this history by inviting Natives to join the prayer that opens all of their rituals.“ Remember that we all are brothers. All people, beasts, trees, and stones, and wind. We all descend from the one great being”. What followed was a night that no one would forget. Experience the magic of HEILUNG’s very first Red Rocks performance again and again!
