We more or less experienced the entirety of the Nurture album, except for "Dullscythe," which we're not sure why it wasn't played as it probably could have fit into "Fresh Static Snow" or "Flicker," but we're sure there was a good reason as it's probably the most different sounding track from the album. He opened with a live edit of "Lifelike" with "do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do" and "Wind Tempos" mixed together into a beautiful and emotional hodgepodge. Although his online Secret Sky festival during the pandemic was great, it did not compare to how amazing it was watching it live, in a crowd of hyped fans, with spectacular visuals and heartwarming fireworks. Onto the moment everyone had been waiting for - seeing Porter perform his new Nurture live show at Second Sky after a year and a half. Although it was not live streamed on Sunday, it was an incredible musical journey that kept parts of his first Good Faith tour, but introduced completely new elements and visuals to round out the set at the end. If we can talk about the absolutely mind-blowing lights and bright neon explosions throughout, you could know a fraction of the work put in between him, his team, and The Architects, the designers who holed up with him in an Airbnb to create Good Faith Forever. But, this wasn't just any festival and said he would do it because it's for Porter. He mentioned that he did not want to play his new live show in the day because the visuals and music truly come to life at night where you can see everything as creatively intended. In one word, his new Good Faith Forever set was breathtaking. It was absolutely clear he found outfit inspiration from Michael Jackson, and even channeled the famous artist's dance moves as he ran in place between his two setups. This huge tree also served as a great photo op and meet up location, which is certainly better than trying to tell your friends to meet "left of the speakers, towards main stage, between the water stations and in front of a currently trending meme totem.Ĭharles Kang the sunset on Saturday, Madeon confidently strutted onto the stage with his sparkle-encrusted pants and gloves. The shrine reminded us of a temple straight out of The Legend of Zelda, which was just amazing.įurther to the left of the grounds, you encountered a crystal cavern that lit up at night, and then in the heart of the grounds, à la The Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time, was a gigantic tree covered in vines and blossoms that also came to life at night. We made our way to the four main attractions of the festival which were the forest gates at the entrance, the Tomb of the Ancient Kings, an abandoned ruin where a giant stone shrine to Potaro, the adorably blue blob and mascot, lay rest. First, appreciating the fan-submitted Second Sky artwork on the huge LED panels, we then ventured around the 250,000 square feet of AstroTurf laid out to ensure people forgot that they were on a parking lot and instead transported into a wondrous theme park. As an aside, from 3:33 onward, the video for “Shepherdess” and “She Heals Everything” is an elysium for lovers of heavier glitch hop and techno.We arrived shortly before Jacob Collier's set and took advantage of the intermission. Robinson’s edits of “Shepherdess/She Heals Everything,” “Flicker,” and “Natural Light” are all as breathtaking as fans have come to expect from the young artist’s experiential sets. While many of his most notable show staples remained highlights of the set, such as his “deer” edit of “Fresh Static Snow” and his ominous halftime spin on “Fellow Feeling,” a number of riveting new edits made their way into his performance.īelow, we’ve included videos of three such songs, uploaded to YouTube by Redditor Kevin Lee. Translating better to the HARDer stage’s format than perhaps any of the other live acts the stage hosted, Robinson provided a characteristically epic experience in his performance, replete with pyrotechnics, the Invisible Light Network’s imaginative visual designs, and a slew of unreleased live edits. However, countless others opted to walk over to the other side of Fontana’s Auto Club Speedway to pay witness to Porter Robinson’s legendary Worlds set. To conclude HARD Summer, a large number of the event’s 146,000 ventured to Major Lazer’s headlining slot.
