August 22, 2024 – Today, Grammy-nominated artist Porter Robinson released the official music video for “Year of the Cup” off his new album SMILE! :D via MOM+POP. [Watch here].
Directed in collaboration with Malcolm MacMaster, “Year of the Cup” is an eye-grabbing capsule of the angst, nostalgia, and raw artistry that defines Porter’s SMILE! :D era. Shot in square format and washed in the faded, fuzzy familiarity of a 90s music video, “Year of the Cup” sees Porter with guitar in hand, singing along to the song’s sampled Lil Wayne bridge.
“Year of the Cup” is a window into the live performance style fans can expect with Porter’s upcoming SMILE! :D World Tour supporting his widely acclaimed third studio album. Since its release, SMILE! :D has garnered praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Independent, NME, The Line of Best Fit, UPROXX, The Skinny, Hypebeast, and more.
“Conceptually adventurous and sonically indulgent” – Rolling Stone
“Garishly nostalgic and unrepentantly joyous” – Pitchfork
“Robinson’s new record is unmissable” – The Independent
“Bright, maximalist, and shameless” – UPROXX
“A masterful moodboard of all of Robinson’s wide-spanning influences” – Hypebeast
SMILE! :D is available now as a Deluxe Box Set – packaged in a custom reusable carrying case which includes a double LP in opaque pink vinyl, exclusive 7" opaque pink vinyl of “Cheerleader”, exclusive lyric & photo booklet, and exclusive album art print – as well as a milky pink Urban Outfitters Exclusive and an opaque baby pink Amazon Exclusive. Along with SMILE! :D, a pair of commemorative special edition vinyls – Worlds 10th Anniversary and Worlds Live at Second Sky 2019 – are available for purchase here.
Porter Robinson will bring the SMILE! :D World Tour to venues around the world this Fall with his highly anticipated 70+ date global outing where he’ll debut a completely new production including a live band. The SMILE! :D World Tour will kick off on August 29 in Boston and hit notable stops along the way including Forest Hills in New York on August 31 and Hollywood Bowl on October 11, before heading onto an Asian run which spans 9 cities beginning November 2024. Porter concludes the tour by traversing across 8 countries in Europe throughout February and March 2025, including a stop at London’s prestigious Brixton Academy.

About Porter Robinson:
At age 18, the North Carolina-based producer and songwriter burst onto the scene with a complex, bombastic brand of electro-house. Following the major success of his 2014 debut album Worlds, Porter released the RIAA Gold single "Shelter" with Madeon in 2016, followed by a Shelter Live Tour spanning 43 dates and four continents. The following year, Porter began releasing music under a new alias, Virtual Self, which led to his first Grammy nomination for the BBC Radio 1 hit single "Ghost Voices." In 2019, Porter put on the first Second Sky Festival, which sold out all 30,000 tickets for the two-day festival in a single day. In both 2020 and 2021, Porter Robinson hosted editions of his virtual festival Secret Sky, amassing over 6 million viewers combined, 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 Bay Area, selling out 40,000 tickets in a single day. Immediately following, the Nurture Live North American Tour sold over 150,000 concert 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.
