HARD Summer Music Festival has revealed its latest wave of artist additions for its August 1-2 return to Hollywood Park in Inglewood. The festival continues to build out what’s shaping up to be one of the most eclectic lineups of the summer.
Leading the new additions is breakout experimental Japanese producer ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, whose genre-defying sets have been making waves across the international club circuit. The artist joins an already stacked lineup that was previously announced with names like Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Mau P, and RL Grime.
Perhaps the most intriguing addition is a rare B3K B2B Boys Noize set, where Brutalismus 3000’s rave-ready sonics will collide with the inimitable selections of Boys Noize. The pairing promises to be one of the festival’s most explosive performances, combining the Berlin-based B3K’s industrial techno with Boys Noize’s decades of electronic music expertise.
The new additions also include fast-rising Latin production duo RØZ and alternative dance act 1tbsp, further expanding HARD Summer’s commitment to genre-spanning programming that reflects Los Angeles’ diverse musical landscape.
These artists join the previously announced powerhouse lineup featuring 2hollis, DJ Snake (Hip-Hop Set), Frost Children, HYPERBEAM (Odd Mob x OMNOM), Interplanetary Criminal B2B Main Phase, Kali Uchis, Knock2 B2B Zedd, salute, Sammy Virji, Shygirl Presents Club Shy, Six Sex, Snow Strippers, Tiga, Tokischa, Underscores, Vintage Culture, VTSS, Zack Fox, and many more.
Festival Returns to Hollywood Park
HARD Summer is returning to Hollywood Park, the expansive entertainment complex adjacent to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater. The venue provides the perfect backdrop for what has become one of the West Coast’s most influential mid-year festivals and the largest electronic music event in Los Angeles.
Since its debut in 2007, HARD Events has evolved into a defining fixture of Southern California’s festival landscape. The event has built its reputation on genre-spanning programming with a curatorial ethos that stays on the pulse, combined with an unmistakable visual identity that celebrates Los Angeles’ raw, grungy city energy.
Each summer, HARD welcomes a diverse, style-forward crowd to experience a collision of electronic and live music culture. This approach has cemented HARD Summer’s place as a festival that genuinely reflects the layered musical landscape of its host city.
Community Commitment Continues
HARD Summer continues to prioritize meaningful connections with the communities that surround it. Since 2023, the festival’s HARD Pre-Game initiative has partnered with more than 17 businesses across Greater Los Angeles, including four Inglewood-based establishments in 2025.
This ongoing commitment underscores the festival’s dedication to supporting its home city and the local businesses that shape its cultural fabric. Local businesses interested in partnering for this year’s edition can submit inquiries through the festival’s application process, with more details about this year’s Pre-Game program coming in the months ahead.
Two-day GA, GA+, and VIP festival passes are currently on sale through the festival’s official website. With this latest round of additions solidifying an already impressive lineup, HARD Summer 2026 is shaping up to deliver another defining moment for Los Angeles electronic music culture.
