HARD Summer Unveils 2025 Lineup & You’ve Gotta See It
HARD Events has unveiled the highly anticipated lineup for the 2025 edition of HARD Summer Music Festival. The festival makes its return to Inglewood on August 2-3, 2025, once again taking over Hollywood Park, the sprawling entertainment complex adjacent to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater.
Since debuting in 2008, HARD Summer has solidified itself as a cornerstone of Southern California’s festival circuit. With its signature multi-genre curation and bold aesthetic, the event has steadily grown in prominence. Today, it stands as Los Angeles’ premier electronic music festival, serving as a dynamic showcase of the city’s diverse musical landscape and cultural influences.
The 2025 lineup stays true to HARD Summer’s signature fusion of sounds, featuring an eclectic mix of electronic music heavyweights, high-profile Latin and Hip-Hop acts, underground tastemakers, and next-gen talent poised to shape the future of music.
Leading this year’s bill are GRAMMY-nominated Australian house maestro Dom Dolla, Colombian reggaetón and cumbia sensation Feid, the dark, industrial energy of French icon Gesaffelstein, and multigenre visionary Kaytranada. Other highlights include Jamaican dancehall legend Sean Paul, multi-platinum New Orleans hip-hop veteran Juvenile & The 400 Degreez Band, the boundary-pushing sounds of Four Tet and Floating Points (Live), techno powerhouse Sara Landry, and French DJ/producer Nico Moreno.
HARD Summer has long been a platform for pioneering, forward-thinking artists shaping the future of electronic music. This year’s roster features the cutting-edge club energy of UK duo Overmono (DJ Set), genre-defying producer Joy Orbison, high-energy floor-fillers Marlon Hoffstadt and Malugi, rave revivalists Prospa, effortlessly cool Berlin-based Narciss, and rising Colombian DJ/producer Funk Tribu.
House music fans can dive into the pulsating rhythms of Latin house innovator Deorro, unifying dance force The Blessed Madonna, reimagined Latin star Gordo, masterful selector James Hype, global trendsetter Loco Dice, and tech-house standouts Ben Sterling, Riordan, Blackchild, and SOSA. The lineup also features B2B performances from Walker & Royce B2B VNSSA, Adam Ten B2B Mita Gami, Torren Foot B2B Airwolf Paradise, and Kilimanjaro B2B Melé.
Techno devotees can expect a hard-hitting lineup, featuring international standouts like Italian acid duo 999999999, fellow Italian hard techno force Alignment, enigmatic selector I Hate Models, Solamente label boss Deborah De Luca, and a powerful B2B set from KI/KI and a soon-to-be-announced guest.
For those craving heavier bass, the festival will feature experimental left-field producer PEEKABOO, fast-rising low-end specialists Tape B B2B Mersiv, and multifaceted bass powerhouse Crankdat, while D&B fans can look forward to Bou and Hybrid Minds bringing their high-energy performances.
After relocating to Hollywood Park in 2024, HARD redefined Los Angeles’ festival experience. Spanning 300 acres, the venue introduced a more immersive setting, with expansive grounds, interactive features, and innovative activations—making it the largest event of its kind in the city.
HARD Summer remains committed to delivering an unforgettable experience while fostering positive relationships with the local community. Since 2023, its ‘Pre-Game’ initiative has partnered with 17 local businesses across Greater Los Angeles, including five Inglewood establishments in 2024. This year, the festival is expanding its community outreach and invites local businesses to apply here to explore partnership opportunities.
