HARD Events has announced the lineup for the return of HARD Summer Music Festival, set to take place in Inglewood on August 1-2, 2026 at Hollywood Park, the expansive entertainment complex adjacent to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater.
Since its debut in 2007, HARD Events has evolved into a defining fixture of Southern California’s festival landscape. The event is renowned for its genre-spanning programming, with a curatorial ethos always on the pulse, and 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, reflecting the city’s layered musical landscape. Over time, HARD Summer has cemented its place as one of the West Coast’s most influential mid-year festivals and the largest electronic music event in Los Angeles.
HARD Summer’s 2026 lineup will be led by a top tier selection of global headliners and crossover icons – including GRAMMY-winning Colombian visionary Kali Uchis, a rare collaborative next-gen meets superstar moment with Knock2 B2B Zedd, global French hitmaker DJ Snake (Hip-Hop Set), Dominican pop disruptor Tokischa, boundary breaking club provocateur Shygirl presents Club Shy, and multi-hyphenate DJ, rapper, and comedian Zack Fox. Added highlights include Belgian hard techno powerhouses Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens, meteoric house phenomenon Mau P, trap and bass architect RL Grime, and the ever innovative dance titan Maceo Plex – all forming the top of a stacked billing.
Staying true to its legacy of spotlighting the future of club culture, HARD Summer’s lineup dives deep into forward thinking underground sounds. Highlights include Berlin industrial rave agitators Brutalismus 3000, UKG torchbearer Sammy Virji, techno experimentalist VTSS, UK hard dance revivalist Hannah Laing, rising UKG force Oppidan, techno authority Anetha, and high-energy trance-leaning selector Pegassi.
