In support of his third studio album “Smile! :D,” released July 26 via Mom+Pop, Robinson will debut a new live production including a full live band during his “Smile! 😀 World Tour” after experimenting with the band format at his own sold-out Second Sky Festival and again in 2023 at Coachella’s main stage.
The tour will offer VIP packages and experiences for fans. VIP packages may include premium tickets, access to the preshow VIP lounge and a VIP bar, early entry into the venue, preshow merchandise, specially designed gift item and more. For more information, go to VipNation.com.
At age 18, the North Carolina-based producer and songwriter burst onto the scene with a complex, bombastic brand of electro-house. After the success of his 2014 debut album “Worlds,” Robinson released the RIAA gold single “Shelter” with Madeon in 2016, followed by the “Shelter Live Tour” spanning 43 dates and four continents. In 2017, Robinson began releasing music under a new alias, Virtual Self, leading to his first Grammy nomination for “Ghost Voices.”
In 2019, Robinson led the first Second Sky Festival, which sold out all 30,000 tickets for the two-day festival in one day. In 2020 and 2021, Robinson hosted editions of his virtual festival Secret Sky, amassing more than 6 six million viewers and which came to be regarded as the most sophisticated virtual festivals of its time.
Later in 2021, following the release of sophomore album “Nurture,” Second Sky Festival made its return to the San Francisco Bay Area, selling out 40,000 tickets in a single day. Immediately following, the Nurture Live North American Tour sold more than 150,000 tickets and was the highest-grossing electronic tour of 2021.
In 2022, in partnership with Riot Games, Robinson released “Everything Goes On,” surpassing 100 million global streams. Later that year was his debut of one of two exclusive full live band performances, first at Second Sky 2022 and again in 2023 at the Coachella Main Stage.
