HARD Events has announced the music lineup for the 2025 edition of HARD Summer Music Festival. HARD Summer returns to Inglewood on August 2nd – 3rd 2025, once again taking place at Hollywood Park, the expansive entertainment complex adjacent to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater.
Since its inaugural edition in 2008, HARD Summer has cemented its place as a cornerstone of Southern California’s festival scene. With its distinct multi-genre curational ethos and vibrant aesthetic, the event has grown steadily in prominence. Today, it stands as Los Angeles’ largest electronic music festival and a powerful celebration of the city’s rich tapestry of musical styles and cultural influences.
HARD Summer’s 2025 lineup stays true to the festival’s signature blend of diverse sounds and styles, bringing together leading names in electronic music, high-profile crossover acts in the Latin and Hip-Hop spaces, underground tastemakers, and the best of the next generation of emerging talent.
The lineup will be led by headliners including GRAMMY-nominated Australian powerhouse DOM DOLLA, Colombian reggaetón and cumbia singer/songwriter FEID, the dark industrial sonics of legendary French producer GESAFFELSTEIN and multigenre super producer KAYTRANADA. Additional highlights include Jamaican dancehall icon SEAN PAUL, multi platinum New Orleans hip-hop veteran JUVENILE & THE 400 DEGREEZ BAND, the visionary and genre-defying heroics of FOUR TET and FLOATING POINTS live, high priestess of hard techno SARA LANDRY and French DJ and producer NICO MORENO.
Devotees of the brand know that HARD Summer is known for showcasing the sounds of tomorrow and championing forward-thinking, unconventional stylings shaping the modern dance music landscape. These bookings include the cutting-edge club ready energy of UK duo OVERMONO (DJ Set), innovative boundary pushing producer JOY ORBISON, the high energy dancefloor filling MARLON HOFFSTADT and MALUGI, rave revivalists PROSPA, the effortlessly cool Berlin-based NARCISS and Colombian DJ and producer FUNK TRIBU.
