Electric indie-pop artist The Dare took the stage and brought his edgy swagger to Movin’ On’s 2026 lineup. 

Dressed in his signature suit-and-sunglasses look, he fittingly started his set with “Open Up,” a track from his 2024 album “What’s Wrong With New York?” before moving into “Good Time,” also off the project.

He paused to connect with the audience, sharing how his mother is from Pennsylvania. “Without PA, there’d be no me. I owe you guys,” he said before segueing into his 2023 EP track, “Sex”.

He kept the energy high with “Perfume,” swinging his microphone around and playing a cymbal above his head. 

Flashing lights and a heavy beat drop transitioned into “You’re Invited,” followed by “I Can’t Escape Myself,” and “Cheeky”. 

Rocking on the electric keyboard and the lights shining bright, he got the crowd jumping to “LCA,” before turning the lights red for his instrumental “Bloodwork”.

He then sampled “Guess,” by Charli XCX, which he produced for the deluxe edition of her 2024 album “Brat”. 

With the spotlight shining on him, he slowed things down with “Elevation,” and “You Can Never Go Home,” before ramping the energy back up with “Movement”. 

He had the crowd clapping along as he performed “All Night,” tossing the mic stand over his shoulder as he rounded out his performance. 

He closed out his set with his iconic 2022 hit “Girls,” which had the entire crowd singing and dancing in the rain.
