Porter Robinson has expanded the universe of electronic music for over a decade. In April 2021, Robinson brought Nurture, his first album in seven years, to life. Nurture was a commercial hit, topping the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and marking Robinson’s second number one debut after 2014’s genre-defining Worlds. Robinson’s own festival, Second Sky, welcomed a sold-out crowd of 45,000 fans to the Oakland Arena Grounds in the fall of 2021, followed by ‘The Nurture Live Tour 2021’ spanning 38 dates across the United States. The Australian tour follows on from sold out UK, EU and Asian tour dates.
He has over one billion streams across his catalogue and over one million YouTube subscribers. His most recent single, ‘Everything Goes On’, in collaboration with Riot Games and League of Legends, has amassed over 40 million streams and charted in 18 countries on iTunes.
