The Dare Tried to Crowdsurf and It Did Not Go Well

Crowdsurfing can sometimes feel like a trust-fall: you are hoping against hope that the people you’ve put your faith in will be there to grab you before you crash to the ground. At least that’s how it’s supposed to work. That definitely was not the case on Sunday night (March 16) when producer/DJ The Dare (born Harrison Patrick Smith) took a runner from the stage at the Marble Factory in Bristol, England and the crowd just parted like the Red Sea and let him hit the deck.
As seen in video of the incident, Smith, 29, is standing on the edge of the stage doing some call-and-response during his breakout hit “Girls” with the crowd at the club when he leans forward and trusts that the people in the pit will catch and hold him up. Instead, they simply let him fall to the ground as he gets swallowed by the scrum.
Ever the professional, Smith bounces right back up and continues his performance, scooting back onto the stage as some adoring, shrieking female admirers touch his face, pull on his black tie and push their phones up into his face, brushing off the potentially blush-worthy incident like it was no big deal.
Smith released his debut album, What’s Wrong With New York? in September and he has a trio of upcoming U.K. shows in Manchester, Glasgow and London through Saturday (March 22) before hopping back over to the U.S. for a run of California shows in Pomona, San Francisco and Santa Barbara in April and May. He’s then back across the Atlantic for a run of European festival dates in June — including Reading and Leeds in August — in a busy summer that will also include a stop at Lollapalooza in Chicago on July 31.
