“The Dare’s star is rapidly rising”—Hypebeast

April 18, 2025—Following up his European run and a totally blown out worldwide headline tour last fall, The Dare sells out his first-ever New York residency at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right in six hours.

The seven-show run will span from May 12 to 18, arriving a month before the release of a deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed debut album, What’s Wrong With New York?: Afters, set for release June 13 via Republic Records— preorder/save the deluxe LP here.

The dates add to a landmark few months for the musician whose raucous performance at Coachella was praised by Rolling Stone as a “desert rager” where “the dance music star kicked up the energy dressed up in a suit and tie and black sunglasses as stacks of Marshall amps and spotlights blasted behind him.” He’ll take his live show to additional festival stages around the globe this spring and summer, with sets at Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza, Reading, Leeds and more, plus, a slew of upcoming dates supporting French electric duo Justice in California.

Fresh off a completely sold-out U.K. and European headline tour, an appearance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards with Charli xcx and a number of shows front row at Paris Fashion Week, The Dare will feature on the production credits for PinkPantheress’ forthcoming mixtape, Fancy That, out next month.

The Dare continues to throw his signature party Freakquencies all over the world, recently debuting in Mexico City after playing to 4,000 people in NYC. The club nights, which started in a basement bar in Manhattan, have recently seen guest DJs Doss, Danny L Harle, Dylan Brady, Kelly Lee Owens and many more.

What’s Wrong With New York?, The Dare’s highly anticipated debut, took the world by storm upon release in September 2024. The LP features his ubiquitous first single “Girls”—now a bona fide hit with 52 million streams on Spotify alone—as well as fan favorites “Perfume” and “Good Time.” The deluxe finds The Dare releasing never-before-heard tracks from the album’s original sessions, as well as his first cover song, a take on “I Can’t Escape Myself” by The Sound. The first single, “LCA,” debuted earlier this month.

Praise for What’s Wrong With New York?...

“The Dare’s album is a party – and you’re invited”—NPR All Things Considered

“a sincerely fun, joyous, laugh-out-loud, self-aware testament to the power of cheek...a love letter to being young and hedonistic in New York...The album is a tight 10-song flex of Smith’s formidable production skills”—The New York Times

“horny, sleazy and dripping with 2000s nostalgia...The Pacific Northwest kid quickly became a symbol for Downtown NYC cool, emerging as both a music and fashion darling...his mix of synth-pop and punk an eclectic shock to ‘supercharge’ our city’s underground scene.”—PAPER

The Dare is the solo project of vocalist, songwriter and producer Harrison Patrick Smith. Bursting onto the scene with his global hit, “Girls,” his much lauded The Sex EP drew widespread praise from critics and fellow artists alike. He has shared stages and collaborated with Charli xcx, Yves Tumor, Water From Your Eyes and a host of others, and his legendary DJ sets have soundtracked parties for Gucci, Celine, Yves Saint Laurent and many more.
