About HARD Summer

HARD Summer 2025 is set to ignite Los Angeles with two days of electrifying music, immersive experiences, and bold performances on August 2–3, 2025. Hosted in the iconic Hollywood Park in Inglewood, this year’s edition reaffirms HARD Summer’s legacy as a cornerstone of Southern California’s electronic music scene since its explosive inception in 2008.

For 2025, the music festival brings together a genre-blending lineup of over 70 artists, from techno and house heavyweights to bass juggernauts, hip-hop legends, and experimental newcomers. As always, HARD Summer is committed to sonic diversity, uniting global stars with underground innovators across multiple open-air and indoor stages.

Among the most anticipated performances are Gesaffelstein, Kaytranada, Four Tet, and Sean Paul, each promising unforgettable headline moments. The lineup also boasts powerhouse names like Deborah De Luca, Dom Dolla, Sara Landry, Overmono, and I Hate Models, offering a high-octane mix of techno, house, and rave energy. Bass heads can look forward to sets from Peekaboo, Tape B B2B Mersiv, and Crankdat, while fans of melodic and experimental sounds will gravitate toward artists like Floating Points, AIMMIA, and Daniel Allan.

HARD Summer 2025 will also spotlight rare and exciting B2B sets including Adam Ten B2B Mita Gami, Walker & Royce B2B VNSSA, and KILIMANJARO B2B Melé. The lineup continues with boundary-pushers like Loco Dice, Nico Moreno, Funk Tribu, Joy Orbison, Annicka, and Yamagucci, rounding out a weekend packed with diverse rhythms and cutting-edge performances.

True to its name, HARD Summer is about more than just sound—it’s a full sensory escape. Expect massive stage productions, mind-melting visuals, and next-level lighting designs that complement each musical journey.
