Porter Robinson Announces First-Ever World Tour Ahead of New Album
A decade after Porter Robinson released Worlds, he's traveling them.
He's announced his first-ever world tour, "SMILE! :D," ahead of his new album of the same name, which is scheduled to release on July 26th via Mom+Pop.
Robinson is set to travel to five continents for the tour and highlights seem aplenty, but its undeniable pinnacle will come in February 2025, when he heads to Asia. Long enamored with Japanese culture, the dance music superstar will perform in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka.
Fans can expect plenty of whimsical cherry blossoms and Kawaii-inspired visuals, but before then, he'll kick off the tour in North America in late-August, when he'll take over a slew of major cities in Canada and the US. He'll then cross the Pacific for an Australian run—the dates of which have not yet been announced—before venturing into Asia, Europe and South America, respectively.
The tour will feature support from Japanese indie-rock band Galileo Galilei as well as hyperpop stars ericdoa and underscores. Pre-sale passes will be available starting Tuesday, April 30th at 10am local time and tickets then release to the general public Friday, May 3rd.
Robinson recently released two singles from SMILE! :D, "Cheerleader" and "KNOCK YOURSELF OUT XD." Opening up about its recording process this week, he painted a picture of his most vulnerable work yet.
"the album that I was TRYING to write was this nonstop party — NO sincerity, ALL fun, an album that revels in absurdity for a world that rejects context," Robinson wrote in posts across his social media. "And that was the plan until I accidentally started confessing how I was really feeling, and … you’ll hear the rest."
"my most fun, and maybe my most heartbreaking album," he added.
