Additionally, The Dare will embark on his first ever headline tour of North America this fall, kicking off September 5 at New York’s Webster Hall with further dates in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and many more.

What’s Wrong With New York? was recorded over the last year between The Dare’s home and studio in New York. The album features songwriting and production collaborations with Dylan Brady (100 gecs), Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey, FKA twigs, Dua Lipa), Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Chris Greatti (Yves Tumor, Yeule), Isaac Eiger of Strange Ranger and more.
The Dare is fresh from two nights opening for Charli xcx at her first-ever Brat live performances in New York and Los Angeles, where he debuted a brand-new live show. Additionally, he produced “Guess” from the Brat deluxe edition out now—listen here.
In May, The Dare played a very special run of sold out U.K. and Europe dates—in London, Paris, Berlin and more—as well as a number of festivals including Primavera and Great Escape.
The Dare is the solo project of vocalist, songwriter and producer Harrison Patrick Smith. Bursting onto the scene with the ubiquitous “Girls,” his much lauded The Sex EP drew widespread praise from critics and fellow artists alike. His explosive live shows have sold out across North America and Europe, and his legendary DJ sets, honed at his signature downtown Manhattan party Freakquencies, have soundtracked parties for Gucci, Celine and many more. He has shared stages and collaborated with Charli xcx, Yves Tumor, Water From Your Eyes and a host of others.
