HARD Events has officially unveiled the lineup for the return of HARD Summer Music Festival, which will descend on Inglewood‘s Hollywood Park on August 1-2, 2026. The sprawling entertainment complex neighboring SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater will once again serve as the backdrop for what has grown into the largest electronic music festival in Los Angeles.
Tickets are available here now. Ticket prices range from $202.18 for 2-day GA to $252.24 for 2-day GA+ and $385.37 for 2-day VIP.
Since first launching in 2007, HARD Summer has carved out an irreplaceable spot in Southern California‘s cultural calendar, earning a reputation for genre-spanning bookings, a distinctly gritty Los Angeles aesthetic, and a crowd that arrives as much for the fashion as the music. The festival has long operated at the intersection of electronic and live music culture, and its 2026 edition looks to push that tradition further than ever.
Topping this year’s billing is a remarkable cross-section of global talent. GRAMMY-winning Colombian artist Kali Uchis leads the charge alongside a highly anticipated back-to-back between next-gen sensation Knock2 and superstar producer Zedd. French hitmaker DJ Snake will deliver a dedicated hip-hop set, while Dominican pop disruptor Tokischa, boundary-pushing club act Shygirl presenting Club Shy, and multi-hyphenate performer Zack Fox round out the upper tier. Belgian hard techno heavyweights Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens bring serious underground credibility, joined by house phenomenon Mau P, trap and bass architect RL Grime, and the ever-evolving Maceo Plex.
True to its roots in club culture, the lineup ventures deep into underground territory. Berlin industrial provocateurs Brutalismus 3000, UK garage torchbearer Sammy Virji, techno experimentalist VTSS, UK hard dance revivalist Hannah Laing, rising UKG force Oppidan, techno authority Anetha, and high-energy selector Pegassi all feature prominently throughout the billing.
The house music contingent is equally stacked. Brazilian export Vintage Culture, tech house duo AFTER MIDNIGHT — the collaborative project of Matroda and San Pacho — and bass house pairing HYPERBEAM, combining Odd Mob and OMNOM, headline that corner of the lineup. They are joined by Latin-influenced duo Miguelle & Tons, UK rave staple Sally C, Miami club fixture Omar+, and an array of rising and established selectors including Fifi, BOLO, Dreya V, Brunello, and Miluhska.
One of the more distinctive elements of this year’s festival is a full stage takeover from Berlin-based collective Live From Earth, whose internet-native, irreverent approach to club culture has earned them a devoted global following. Their curated stage will feature genre-fluid pop auteur 2hollis, synth-punk cult duo Snow Strippers, German DJ and rapper MCR-T, hyperpop duo Frost Children, experimental pop producer Underscores, rising talent 10cust, and a still-to-be-revealed B3K back-to-back. The takeover encapsulates Live From Earth’s signature collision of rave, pop, and online subculture.
Rounding out an already sprawling lineup are a series of collaborative pairings and standout individual acts pushing well beyond conventional genre lines. DJ Seinfeld and Luuk van Dijk will go back-to-back, as will X CLUB. with ATRIP, Alarico with Yanamaste, and a vinyl-heavy three-way featuring Adiel, Héctor Oaks, and Quest. Drum and bass legend ANDY C will appear in his ALiVe format, alongside Berlin club provocateur Six Sex, Latin innovator Nick León, the euphoric productions of salute, and bass-driven producer Mary Droppinz. Local Los Angeles talent is also well represented, with CQUESTT, Strawbry, DJ Warning, Etari, and Canary Yellow all on the bill.
Since relocating to Hollywood Park in 2024, the festival has undergone a transformation in both scale and experience. The nearly 300-acre venue provides the kind of room that allows for immersive design, genuine interactivity, and the breathing space a festival of this magnitude demands. For 2026, organizers have refreshed the layout to improve flow between stages and expanded the Green Stage area to give attendees more room on the dance floor.
Community remains central to how HARD operates. The festival’s HARD Pre-Game initiative has now partnered with over 17 businesses across Greater Los Angeles since 2023, including four Inglewood establishments during last year’s edition, reflecting a sustained commitment to the neighborhoods that surround it. Local businesses hoping to get involved this year can apply through the festival’s official channels.
Two-day passes — available in GA, GA+, and VIP tiers — go on sale Friday, February 27 at 10AM PT, with an early access window at 9AM PT for fans signed up for SMS notifications. More information is available at HARD Summer’s official website.
