Porter Robinson
The 28-year-old DJ behind Look At The Sky fame happens to be the curator for the music festival. He is also the main center of attraction at Second Sky.
Originally hailing from North Carolina, Robinson rose to prominence with his debut album Worlds that reached the Number 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums. He is particularly known for his electro-house and synth-pop music.
Porter Robinson has curated an eclectic lineup of innovative acts to look forward to.
Presented by
Goldenvoice, Second Sky marks Porter’s first in-person performance of a brand new live show featuring music from his critically-acclaimed new album,
. The producer’s first full-length album in seven years features a new wave of pop-inspired anthems, “Musician,” “Look At The Sky,” “Mirror,” “Get Your Wish,” “Something Comforting” and more and seeing them play out live for the first time ever will be a truly remarkable experience.
Billboard in regards to designing the
Nurture live show. I couldn’t stop. I made everything into a more fun version of itself.”
Here, in his own words, Robinson shares his insights on each act that he chose for the Second Sky lineup.
Jyocho are a Japanese math-rock band headed up by Daijiro Nakagawa. Their music is so special to me, and it hit me at a formative time during the writing of
Nurture. I think they express the beauty of reality and of nature through their music. It sounds so tactile, so human and vulnerable, but also so powerful at the same time. It s impossible for me to not visualize an idyllic meadow when I listen to their sound. Listen to Circle of Life - the run at at 3:28 makes me cry every time.

September 28th, 2019 was the last time I saw live music. That was almost two whole years ago. The current landscape of “virtual pandemic live shows” never really intrigued me. I caught a couple of Jeff Rosenstock’s Instagram live performances last April, but other than that, I was apathetic towards quarantine concerts. To me, it just feels like watching a video, which is essentially what it is. I saw that there were some Minecraft concerts too, but the lack of integration between the stream and the game just made it seem pointless. However, when I heard about Porter Robinson’s Secret Sky festival, it piqued my interest.
