Tomora announce further European tour dates following live debut, the duo of Aurora and Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers
Tomora, the duo of Aurora and Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, have announced further European tour dates following their first-ever live shows this week.
Tomora will perform at SWG3 Galvanizers in Glasgow on 26 October, London’s Roundhouse on 28 October, Amare in Den Haag, Netherlands on 31 October, and UFO Velodrom in Berlin on 1 November.
The announcement follows Tomora’s live debut at Manchester’s New Century Hall and London’s EartH Hackney – with their first festival performance to follow at Coachella in April. Visual direction at the shows will come from Adam Smith, long time collaborator of The Chemical Brothers and more recently of Aurora.
At first, speculation was rife as to who (or what) the mysterious Tomora was, after the name appeared on the Coachella 2026 Festival line up poster with no additional information.
Tomora’s first transmission arrived in the form of debut single ‘Ring the Alarm’, which was met with huge acclaim upon release. NME dubbed the track “epic”, while Clash remarked that its “crunchy, frosty electronic tones contain a sense of danger, while Aurora’s vocal contains palpable urgency”. DJ Mag also highlighted ‘Ring the Alarm’s’’s “intense bass and beat oscillations capped with an infectious vocal hook”. DJ support for ‘Ring the Alarm’ came with the likes of Erol Alkan, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and many more, and it was released on a very limited and collectible white label vinyl, backed with ‘The Thing’ – a tender track which showed a glimpse of the beautiful downtempo tracks that the band have created for ‘COME CLOSER’.
‘Come Closer’, Tom and Aurora’s debut LP as Tomora, is less about two separate artists finding a fertile middle ground and more the sound of a tenacious duo connecting in the studio and hitting massive creative peaks together. Across the twelve-track album, Tom and Aurora build their own unique space — somewhere they can produce the kind of magic and electricity that comes from flicking through a perfect record collection, flowing from the wigged-out psychedelia of the 1960s to the super-futurism of sounds imagined for the 2060s.
With ‘Come Closer’, Tom and Aurora have created something authentically their own. In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, this music sounds like two innovative artists bouncing ever more ambitious and ever more brilliant ideas off each other to see how far they can go.
