A host of headlining acts will soundtrack a massive welcome for HARD Summer to its new home of Hollywood Park, led by GRAMMY-nominated brotherly production duo Disclosure, the electrifying FISHER + Chris Lake: Under Construction collaborative show, and hard-hitting REZZMAU5 collaboration of Rezz and deadmau5. HARD will also welcome special guests including revitalized UK electronic duo Chase & Status and GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado with her catalog of iconic hits. More highlights include globally celebrated international trio Major Lazer and forward-thinking beatmaker Jamie xx.

HARD Summer’s crossover talent is spearheaded by the smooth styling house and hip-hop inspired beats of Channel Tres, energetic performance duo Sofi Tukker playing a DJ Set, multi-instrumentalist live act and singer-songwriter Elderbrook, elite producer and DJ Kenny Beats, and Rinse FM voice turned skilled selector Jyoty.

HARD has always been on the cutting edge of electronic curation, exemplified by its bookings of left-of-center strains of dance music and the direction of its newly reimagined HARD Records. These high BPM, light-hearted sonics will be strongly represented by the likes of Partiboi69 and KETTAMA’s KETBOI69, ground breaking UK production duo Overmono, the wide ranging stylings of Interplanetary Criminal, the Latin inspired productions of INVT, and rave inspired Berlin duo DJ Heartstring. Next generation favorites like Bianca Oblivion and Panteros666 are also among the billing.

HARD’s underground house and techno curation celebrates storied icons on the international circuit who routinely take over the world’s most coveted dancefloors from Ibiza to Tulum. Mochakk will bring his engaging stage presence to the fold, playing out hits like his recent smash ‘Jealous’. Various artists will present a special coming together of styles in unique back to backs including Seth Troxler b2b DJ Tennis, Beltran b2b Classmatic, and HoneyLuv b2b Bontan. More highlights include the innovative and legendary Kerri Chandler plus clubland favorite Chloé Caillet.

Heavier sonics will also see no shortage, highlighted by Deadbeats Records label heads Zeds Dead, the head-splitting sounds of Subtronics, DnB favorites Sub Focus and Dimension, and emerging versatile producer Hamdi.

HARD Summer alumni who’ve continued to grow alongside the brand and reach varying levels of superstar status will also take center stage, featuring versatile house duo Tchami x Malaa: No Redemption, dance music titan and hitmaker Dillon Francis, and meteoric house and techno talent Eli Brown. Additional highlights include the eclectic and hard-hitting Boys Noize, NITTI & Party Favor’s party-starting SIDEPIECE, trap sensation TroyBoi, and in-demand Aussie export Wax Motif.

This year’s event will feature performances by artists such as Dillon Francis, SAYMYNAME, CRAY with GG Magree, Wax Motif, Kayzo, Yultron, 4B B2B Valentino Khan, and more. To make things more exciting, there will also be a special set by DJ Crap My Pants. The humorous project is by social media influencer Trevor Wallace.

The trailer showcases some of the great artists set to perform for the iconic California event. In the middle of their reveals, Trevor Wallace makes an appearance, announcing his hysterical alias. The artists are confused as Wallace argues for the authenticity of his project. Trevor even boldy claims he made Valentino Khan’s track ‘Pump It’. Afterward, the video goes on with more comical humor and transitions to the lineup debut.

The summer festival will expand its footprint this year for its official return, taking place at the NOS Events Center on July 31 – August 1.

Passes for the event will go on sale on Friday, April 2 at 10 AM. Furthermore, future attendees can secure their tickets with a down-payment of $9.95.

The post HARD Summer Reveals 2021 Lineup With Offical Trailer appeared first on EDMTunes.

Hard Summer has officially announced their 2017 lineup in honor of the festivals 10th anniversary, and it could be one of their most stacked lineups yet.

It’s been a decade since Gary Richards, more commonly known as Destructo, took his vision of creating something beyond the limitations of what people view as rave culture, and created Hard Fest. Richards and his team pride themselves on creating a space where more diversity is cultivated into their events, with rap and hip-hop, in particular, being the second major forefront at their festivals. In the past, we’ve seen rap and hip-hop icons like The Weeknd, Ice Cube, SchoolBoy Q, 2 Chains, and ASAP Mob tear down the stages of Hard Summer and this year will be no different. Hitting the stages this year are Mike Will Made It, Rae Sremmurd, Ty Dolla Sign, Migos JME, and of course, Snoop Dogg, who will be taking it back by performing his classic 1993 LP Doggystyle, keeping the diversity alive and well.

This year has some of electronic music’s most acclaimed artists and long time HARD family friends. Dog Blood, the Skrillex and Boys Noize super duo, are officially coming out of hiding since their last performance at Hard Summer in 2013, and headlining alongside artists like DJ Snake, Justice, Bassnectar, and Zeds Dead. As you trickle down the list of performers, you can see that Hard Summer isn’t holding back on the amount of talent they have booked this year. Although Hard has taken a few blows in the past, we have a feeling this year will be the comeback of a lifetime…or a decade.

Hard Summer returns to The Speedway in Fontana on August 5th & 6th. Get your tickets Friday, April 28th at 9 AM PT here!
