HARD Events has announced the lineup for the 2026 edition of HARD Summer Music Festival, set for August 1 and 2 at Hollywood Park, the expansive entertainment destination adjacent to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater. The return marks another chapter for a festival that has grown into a defining force within Southern California’s live music landscape.
Since launching in 2007, HARD Summer has built its reputation on genre fluid programming and a sharp curatorial instinct that reflects the layered sound of Los Angeles. The event blends electronic, hip hop, pop, and live performance into a single weekend that feels distinctly rooted in the city’s creative pulse. Over nearly two decades, it has evolved into the largest electronic music festival in Los Angeles and one of the West Coast’s most influential midyear gatherings.
The 2026 lineup reflects that ambition. Global headliners include Grammy winning Colombian artist Kali Uchis, a rare collaborative set from Knock2 B2B Zedd, DJ Snake delivering a hip hop set, Dominican pop provocateur Tokischa, Shygirl presenting Club Shy, and multi dimensional performer Zack Fox. Techno powerhouses Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens join house breakout Mau P, trap architect RL Grime, and the ever inventive Maceo Plex at the top of a stacked bill.
True to its legacy of spotlighting the future of club culture, HARD Summer also dives deep into underground sounds. Berlin’s Brutalismus 3000, UKG standout Sammy Virji, techno experimentalist VTSS, Hannah Laing, Oppidan, Anetha, and Pegassi represent the next wave of global dance music energy.
Modern house is equally front and center with Vintage Culture, AFTER MIDNIGHT featuring Matroda and San Pacho, HYPERBEAM with Odd Mob and OMNOM, Miguelle and Tons, Sally C, Omar+, Fifi, BOLO, Dreya V, Brunello, and Miluhska.
A Live From Earth stage takeover will further amplify the festival’s forward thinking spirit, featuring 2hollis, Snow Strippers, MCR T, Frost Children, Underscores, 10cust, and a to be revealed B3K B2B collaboration. The Berlin collective’s internet born aesthetic promises a high impact collision of rave, pop, and youth culture.
The lineup continues with boundary pushing sets from DJ Seinfeld B2B Luuk van Dijk, X CLUB. B2B ATRIP, Alarico B2B Yanamaste, Adiel B3B Héctor Oaks B3B Quest, ANDY C: ALiVe, Six Sex, Nick León, salute, Mary Droppinz, and Los Angeles talents CQUESTT, Strawbry, DJ Warning, Etari, and Canary Yellow.
Since relocating to Hollywood Park in 2024, HARD Summer has elevated its production scale across the 300 acre campus. For 2026, organizers promise a refreshed layout designed to ease movement between stages and an expanded Green Stage area that gives fans more room to dance.
Beyond the music, HARD continues to invest in its surrounding community. Through its HARD Pre Game initiative, the festival has partnered with more than 17 businesses across Greater Los Angeles since 2023, including several Inglewood establishments, reinforcing its commitment to the city it now calls home. Local businesses that would like to collaborate or participate in this year’s HARD Pre Game can submit their interest through the official online application.
Two day GA, GA+, and VIP passes go on sale Friday, February 27 at 10 AM PT, with early access available at 9 AM PT for fans who sign up for SMS notifications.
