September 26 Spokane, WA - Spokane Pavilion. September 24 Seattle, WA - WaMu Theater. 
September 23 Eugene, OR - Cuthbert Amphitheater. Here are the full dates for the Nurture Live tour: The 30-date tour kicks off September 23 in Eugene, Oregon, before trickling its way down to Florida: first, in Orlando on October 29 at the Orlando Amphitheater, and then onward to the Fillmore Miami Beach on October 30. That was, perhaps, a taste of what fans are in store for now that Robinson has announced his Nurture Live tour. The album builds on the foundation set by Worlds, with tighter song structures and pop hooks.ĭuring his performance during his Secret Sky virtual music festival last month, audiences got to see Robinson singing live and playing piano in addition to his usual synth and MIDI setup, all set to spectacular visuals. The wait for Robinson's proper sophomore album finally ended last month with the release of Nurture, put out by indie rock-focused label Mom + Pop. Instead, he made the kind of music that appealed to the synth pop- and anime-obsessed. It was obvious that he wasn't looking to retread old ground, even if that meant losing fans along the way. Seeing him perform the project live was a revelation on how much he had grown as a musician since his Spitfire days. The release of the five-track, self-titled Virtual Self EP in late 2017 - which took cues from '90s and 2000s rave music and Eurodance - seemed to reinvigorate Robinson's creativity. 
I was terrified of the idea of moving out of my parents’ house," Robinson told Billboard's Katie Bain last month. "I was just severely depressed and very anxious.
But behind the scenes, the artist was experiencing crippling anxiety to match the success of Worlds. Sure, there were singles, and his very popular Virtual Self project. He was riding so high on that success, everyone expected him to release his much-anticipated second album a few years later - but it never materialized. He later embarked on the fan-favorite Worlds Tour that brought an immersive experience to the album's musical narrative. It was warmly received by critics and fans, with the single "Lionhearted" leading the charge. Then, in 2014, Robinson changed directions sonically when he released the much more chilled out Worlds on Astralwerks. The work featured on the record was pretty emblematic of the American-style dubstep (AKA brostep) popular at the time, albeit with some flourishes that softened the genre's harsh edges. DJ/producer Porter Robinson is one of the most fascinating figures to come out of the EDM bubble of the early 2010s. The 28-year-old's debut EP, Spitfire, was released on Skrillex's record label OWSLA in 2011.
