Penny Drop and Frontier Touring present The Dare – the breakout New York vocalist, songwriter and producer makes his highly-anticipated Australian debut this December.
The Dare will perform shows at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Tuesday 3 December and Max Watt’s in Melbourne on Wednesday 4 December, as well as an appearance at this year’s Meredith Music Festival on Saturday 7 December. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/thedare.
The Dare has just released his highly-anticipated debut studio album, What’s Wrong With New York including club singles ‘Perfume’, ‘Good Time’ and ‘You’re Invited’ and the ubiquitous breakout track ‘Girls’— now a bona fide hit. The album is already receiving widespread critical acclaim, with The New York Times calling it “a love letter to being young and hedonistic in New York” and “a tight 10-song flex of Smith’s formidable production skills.”
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for The Dare, who earned his first U.K. #1 alongside Charli XCX and Billie Eilish with their track ‘Guess’, which he produced for the deluxe edition of Brat. He’s spent the summer opening for Charli at a slew of shows, most recently at her Boiler Room in Ibiza as well as at her first-ever Brat live performances in New York and Los Angeles.
The Dare is the solo project of Harrison Patrick Smith. Bursting onto the scene with ‘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.
Defining the sound of 2024, The Dare brings New York to Australia this summer.
