One of Southern California’s most anticipated music events returns to Hollywood Park this summer as HARD Summer Music Festival takes over the expansive venue adjacent to SoFi Stadium on August 2 to August 3. Now in its 15th year, HARD Summer 2025 promises a weekend packed with genre-blending performances, immersive art installations, and community-rooted experiences that underscore its place as Los Angeles’ largest electronic music festival.

Produced by Insomniac Events, HARD Summer continues to evolve while honoring its roots in electronic and hip-hop culture. Headliners for this year’s edition include Colombian reggaetón superstar Feid, Australian house phenomenon Dom Dolla, genre-defying producer Kaytranada, French industrial techno legend Gesaffelstein, and fast-rising hard techno artist Sara Landry.

The 2025 lineup is a mix of global acts and breakout underground names, with sets from Marlon Hoffstadt, Crankdat, The Blessed Madonna, Loco Dice, James Hype, Deorro, Gordo, I Hate Models, Nico Moreno, and a special back-to-back from Tape B and Mersiv. Adding to the festival’s wide-reaching soundscape, Sean Paul and Juvenile will bring indefatigable performances that span generations.

Following a successful debut at Hollywood Park in 2024, the festival returns to the 300-acre entertainment complex with several enhancements aimed at improving the attendee and community experience. Last year’s edition faced sound complaints, which led to collaboration between the City of Inglewood and HARD organizers to implement new sound monitoring systems and real-time engineering adjustments to minimize noise impact while maintaining the signature HARD intensity.

Festivalgoers can once again expect seven stages, Y2K-inspired visuals, cutting-edge production, and activations celebrating Los Angeles culture. This includes the return of the Boombox Art Car and the Locals Only Stage, which spotlight emerging talent from across Los Angeles.

HARD Summer 2025 also continues its “Pre-Game” initiative, designed to partner with local businesses ahead of the festival weekend. Past participants include Randy’s Donuts, Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles, and Sweet Red Peach. Businesses through Greater Los Angeles – and especially in Inglewood – are invited to apply for this year’s program, furthering HARD’s mission to uplift its host community.

Since launching in 2008, HARD Summer has become a defining event in the Southern California festival circuit. Known for its multi-genre lineups and high-octane energy, it offers a festival experience unlike any other on the West Coast. As UPROXX aptly put it, “From the moment the lineup drops to when the last attendee exits, everyone knows HARD Summer is going to throw one of the best parties LA, or anywhere, is offering.”

Two-day GA, GA+, and VIP passes went on sale March 7, with early access through the SMS presale beginning at 9 a.m. PT. Visit www.hardsummer.com for more information and full lineup details.
