# The Gods We Can Touch Tour

The Gods We Can Touch Tour was the fourth concert tour and world tour by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora, undertaken in support of her fourth studio album, The Gods We Can Touch (2022). The tour started on March 27, 2022, at the Town Hall in Birmingham, and was concluded on September 9, 2023, at the Lollapalooza Berlin, spanning 113 shows in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and Oceania.

## Background

The European and also first leg of the tour was announced on 9 July 2021; general sale for the leg started on 16 July.
On 14 October, Aurora was announced as the headliner of Øyafestivalen, the largest music festival in Norway, as part of the tour. She performed on 13 August 2022 on the main stage for an audience of approximately 20,000 people, marking her biggest show in the country. The British magazine NME reviewed the concert and rated it 100/100: "Aurora shines at the festival of the future".

## 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 of the singer's fans interpreted as a white supremacist dog whistle. Two days later, internet users, upon examining Vestrheim's Instagram, discovered additional alleged evidence of dog whistles and Nazi symbolism, such as a drawing featuring the numbers 777 and a swastika. Aurora addressed the situation on the same day, rejecting claims that the drummer is a white supremacist and asserting that none of her band members endorse right-wing political ideologies. The response was mostly perceived as a defense of her drummer.
