HARD Events has announced the return of the HARD Summer Music Festival to Los Angeles for the first time in ten years.
The festival will take place in downtown Los Angeles from August 5-6 and marks the 15th edition of HARD Summer. It will utilize a new venue combination of stages spread out across the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Exposition Park, and BMO Stadium.
“We are thrilled to host HARD Summer’s return to Los Angeles as part of our centennial anniversary celebration,” says Joe Furin, General Manager of the LA Coliseum. “As home to the most iconic events in the world, this festival is an exciting addition to our 100-year history.”
The HARD Summer Music Festival new home will offer a fully immersive footprint for fans of many genres and styles to explore. Admirers of dance music’s biggest main stage acts can hold it down at the HARD Stage at the Green Lot on the south side of BMO Stadium. Followers of more esoteric strains of house and techno can see their favorites on the Pink Stage at Christmas Tree Lane Park.
Multi-genre curation will triumph on the HARDER Stage on the South Lawn, where headlining performances will take place. Bass music devotees can ride the rail at the festival’s Green Stage inside the LA Memorial Coliseum, while a spotlight will continue to be shined on live acts and new subgenres at the Purple Stage inside BMO Stadium.
HARD Summer will also be hosting a series of official after parties at premiere venues around Los Angeles, offering a true city-side takeover. More details about those after parties will be announced closer to the festival.
Two-day festival passes will be available to purchase on February 3 at 10 am PT at the official website. To celebrate the festival’s return to the 213 area code, fans can also secure passes with a $2.13 deposit on February 3 for one day only. More information about the lineup for the festival will be released in the coming months.
