HARD’s flagship event, HARD Summer, has grown from an annual Los Angeles staple into one of the country’s leading festivals in its near-decade run. Renowned for its powerhouse bookings (and, of late, its nomadic address), HARD Summer has provided a platform for both veteran performers and burgeoning young artists alike.
HARD Summer’s ninth edition takes place this weekend at its most eastern locale yet in Southern California, the Auto Club Speedway, where it will host two days of eclectic electronic and hip-hop acts.
Ahead of the weekend, we’ve selected eight acts you can’t miss.
