American Grammy-nominated artist and growing EDM star Porter Robinson will return to Australia in February 2025, bringing his SMILE! :D World Tour down under.
Robinson is expected to host a career-spanning setlist with a live band in support of his third studio album, SMILE! :D. According to a press release, Aussie fans will witness a new stage production for the tour, following the artist’s previous experimentation with the band format at his own sold-out festival, Second Sky, and Coachella’s main stage this year.
Porter Robinson’s Aussie dates begin at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday, 4 February, before he performs at Melbourne’s PICA on Thursday, 6 February, and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Friday, 7 February.
Fans can access pre-sale tickets through Porter Robinson’s website on Monday, 28 October, at 12 pm local time before tickets to the general public go on sale on Thursday, 31 October, at 1 pm local time via TEG Live.
Robinson, an artist speculated to appear at Laneway Festival ahead of the official line-up drop, said of his forthcoming tour dates on Instagram: “IM COMING BACK TO AUSTRALIA WITH ALL 3 ALBUMS !!! <3 SMILE! :D World Tour is coming to Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane !! !!”

Robinson last toured Australia in November last year, appearing at This That festival and some headline dates. On his final Nurture date, which happened to be in Sydney, The Music’s Peyton Kilgower said of the show:
“Porter took us on a journey, not just from the Nurture album but his entire career. Throwing in classics like Shelter and Divinity to remind everyone where he started and found himself, as well as provide key nostalgia for any longer-term listeners in the crowd, we were even privileged enough to get a glimpse of his work with Po-uta, an American VOCALOID, perhaps as a tease for what’s yet to come?”
