Aurora and The Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands Announce Tomora EP 'Celebration,' Add Brooklyn and Mexico City Dates
Tomora — the duo pairing Norwegian art-pop singer Aurora with Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers — has announced a new five-track EP, Celebration, out via Capitol Records. The digital release lands October 16, with a physical edition following November 27; preorders are open now. The title track is out already, pairing driving electronic rhythm with Aurora's signature airy vocal. The EP follows the duo's debut album Come Closer, released earlier this year.
Celebration tracklist
- "Celebration"
- "Hold On Let Go"
- "What Do We Got?"
- "IN A MINUTE (Live From The Studio Version)"
- "Celebration – Ritual Mix"
The EP also includes an alternate version of "Celebration" and a previously released 10-minute extended cut of "In A Minute," whose original version appeared on Come Closer.
On the title track, the duo said: "Celebration is a privilege," describing celebration as something that can be solitary, a funeral, or a ritual — a basic human instinct and need.
Tour dates, including two new stops
Alongside the EP news, Tomora confirmed two newly added shows, including their first US East Coast headline date: March 24, 2027 at Brooklyn Paramount in New York. The duo played festival stages including Coachella and Fuji Rock this summer, and heads to the UK and Ireland in late October, where their London Roundhouse date is already sold out.

The live approach
Speaking to NME previously about Tomora's live plans, Aurora said she wants the show to leave no structure standing in the building once it's over, describing the performance as full of movement and highly dynamic. She also said she experiences listening to the album the way any listener would — able to take it in from both the inside and the outside.
