The Hard Summer LA festival, launched in 2007, has unveiled its lineup for 2025. The festival will return to Hollywood Park with an exciting lineup on August 2 and 3, 2025.
The LA festival, popularly referred to as Hardfest, was first held in Downtown Los Angeles. Since then, the biggest electronic music festival in Los Angeles has changed venues to The Forum, Los Angeles State Historic Park, Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and SoFi Stadium, to mention a few.
This festival stands out due to its unique multi-genre curatorial ethos, vibrant aesthetic, and distinct celebration of the city's rich tapestry of musical styles and cultural influences.
This year, the festival promises to be no different, with its lineup featuring headlining performances from GRAMMY-nominated icon Dom Dolla, Colombian reggaetón and cumbia singer Feid, French producer Gesaffelstein, and Kaytranada.
