HARD Events has announced the highly anticipated lineup for its 2024 edition of HARD Summer Music Festival. For the first time, HARD Summer will take place at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park, adjacent to SoFi Stadium, on August 3 and 4, 2024.
Since its debut edition in 2008, HARD Summer has cemented itself as a staple of the Southern California festival scene, growing steadily while showcasing its signature multi-genre curatorial ethos and Y2K aesthetic. The festival is now the largest electronic music event in Los Angeles and a stronghold for the city’s diverse melting pot of musical styles and influences.
HARD’s 2024 lineup continues to showcase a reflection of the festival’s multi-genre ethos, where the top tier of electronic music blends with champions of the underground scene, marquee crossover and live acts, and the best and brightest of the next generation.
A host of headlining acts will soundtrack a massive welcome for HARD Summer to its new home of Hollywood Park, led by GRAMMY-nominated brotherly production duo Disclosure, the electrifying FISHER + Chris Lake: Under Construction collaborative show, and hard-hitting REZZMAU5 collaboration of Rezz and deadmau5.
HARD will also welcome special guests including revitalized UK electronic duo Chase & Status and GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado with her catalog of iconic hits. More highlights include globally celebrated international trio Major Lazer and forward-thinking beatmaker Jamie xx.
HARD Summer’s crossover talent is spearheaded by the smooth styling house and hip-hop inspired beats of Channel Tres, energetic performance duo Sofi Tukker playing a DJ Set, multi-instrumentalist live act and singer-songwriter Elderbrook, elite producer and DJ Kenny Beats, and Rinse FM voice turned skilled selector Jyoty.
HARD has always been on the cutting edge of electronic curation, exemplified by its bookings of left-of-center strains of dance music and the direction of its newly reimagined HARD Records. These high BPM, light-hearted sonics will be strongly represented by the likes of Partiboi69 and KETTAMA’s KETBOI69, ground breaking UK production duo Overmono, the wide ranging stylings of Interplanetary Criminal, the Latin inspired productions of INVT, and rave inspired Berlin duo DJ Heartstring. Next generation favorites like Bianca Oblivion and Panteros666 are also among the billing.
HARD’s underground house and techno curation celebrates storied icons on the international circuit who routinely take over the world’s most coveted dancefloors from Ibiza to Tulum. Mochakk will bring his engaging stage presence to the fold, playing out hits like his recent smash ‘Jealous’. Various artists will present a special coming together of styles in unique back to backs including Seth Troxler b2b DJ Tennis, Beltran b2b Classmatic, and HoneyLuv b2b Bontan. More highlights include the innovative and legendary Kerri Chandler plus clubland favorite Chloé Caillet.
Heavier sonics will also see no shortage, highlighted by Deadbeats Records label heads Zeds Dead, the head-splitting sounds of Subtronics, D&B favorites Sub Focus and Dimension, and emerging versatile producer Hamdi.
HARD Summer alumni who’ve continued to grow alongside the brand and reach varying levels of superstar status will also take center stage, featuring versatile house duo Tchami x Malaa: No Redemption, dance music titan and hitmaker Dillon Francis, and meteoric house and techno talent Eli Brown. Additional highlights include the eclectic and hard-hitting Boys Noize, NITTI & Party Favor’s party-starting SIDEPIECE, trap sensation TroyBoi, and in-demand Aussie export Wax Motif.

Spanning 300 acres, this mixed-use development promises a fresh experience for attendees.
