HARD Summer

HARD Summer has grown in leaps and bounds since its start in 2007. The brain child of Gary Richards, aka Destructo, HARD is now considered the premier EDM festival on the west coast.

There’s a whole lot to love about HARD Summer, beginning with the consistent lineup. 2013 was a big year that hosted Knife Party, Duck Sauce, TNGHT, Disclosure and dozens more. We’ve never felt let down by any previous HARD release.

Any devout electronic music fans will immediately register with HARD Summer. In our humble opinion, there’s no better place to catch the best of the best in the EDM world. The festival also shines a spotlight on tons of emerging artists worth a listen.

The HARD empire has since bolstered its forces with insane events including Holy Ship! — a cruise to the Bahamas with the best producers in the business with a year long waiting list for tickets. But these over the top private island parties would never be possible without HARD’s roots in downtown LA.

Tickets are not currently on sale but are always reasonable in price with layaway options available. The 2014 HARD Summer also sends the biggest shock wave through the EDM world. We can’t wait.
