Porter Robinson at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

With a new album out and about, he’s got us all in smiles! American DJ, record producer, and singer-songwriter PORTER ROBINSON just dropped his latest LP “SMILE :D”, marking his most ambitious and vulnerable album yet. Exploring themes of relationships, mental health, and a sense of belonging, the man’s newest hits have sent us to tears with his laidback and lush melodies. Taking the record for a live spin, Robinson is stoked to kick off his 70+ date SMILE :D WORLD TOUR.

On tour, he’s debuting a completely new production alongside a full live band on stage. First experimenting with the band set-up during his own sold-out Second Sky festival and at Coachella in 2023, we’re all in to witness the man’s versatility as an artist on stage. From EDM beats to lush laidback melodies, Robinson has shared his immense growth in every album. Now, he’s embracing a new side of himself, all in smiles.

Touching on topics surrounding fame, internet culture, and modern artistry, he’s got a lot to say on tracks such as “Kitsune Maison Freestyle” on trendsetting to “Cheerleader” about fandoms. As an album, the man deeply reflects on self-worth, stigmas, acceptance, and expectations as he navigates his journey of stardom from his young and bright teenage years into maturity in adulthood. From an up-and-coming EDM act in his earlier days, Porter Robinson has come a long way. Exploring hyperpop, pop-punk, alt-rock, and indie vibes on “SMILE :D”, it sure is an era of surprises. Crafting an album vastly different from his previous work, we’re all in to see how he’ll spice up his live concerts.

“Every project I’ve done has been a total reinvention,” Robinson told DORK. “SMILE :D’ is maximum fun and has a real spirit of play,” he further explains, coming up with a record that’s “confessional, vulnerable and honest.”

Bringing the record to life at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater, there’s no better way to celebrate the man’s new sonic vibes than a night under the stars. Surrounded by beautiful nature as two giant rocks stand by Robinson’s side, his hyperpop anthems will surely shine bright as he turns the crowd’s energy up. Having hosted events for over a hundred years, the Red Rocks has become one of the country’s premier concert venues, boasting a long list of legendary acts who have set foot on its stage. As Porter Robinson takes his most ambitious album to the stage, he sure is a legend in the making.
