Insomniac Events has announced the exhilarating lineup for the 2025 HARD Summer festival, slated to take place on August 2-3, 2025, at Hollywood Park, Los Angeles. This annual festival, which has become one of the largest electronic music festivals, is set to feature major headliners such as Dom Dolla, the Colombian sensation Feid, award-winning producer Kaytranada, and the iconic French DJ Gesaffelstein, alongside other remarkable acts.
Since its inception, HARD Summer has made its mark as a cornerstone of Southern California’s festival scene. Attendees can look forward to a diverse array of performances, as the festival blends multiple genres under its vibrant aesthetic, proudly representing the city’s rich musical heritage. This year, fans of EDM will not only get their fill of electrifying beats but also enjoy high-profile crossover acts from the Latin and hip-hop genres, showcasing the festival's evolution and relevance.
The lineup sees the return of fan-favorite artists, including Jamaican dancehall powerhouse Sean Paul, acclaimed hip-hop artist Juvenile with The 400 Degreez Band, genre-blurring producer Four Tet, and many more. What’s more, the festival elevates its offerings with back-to-back sets from prominent artists such as Walker & Royce vs. VNSSA, Adam Ten vs. Mita Gami, and others, promising to deliver moments of pure magic on the dancefloor.
Meanwhile, HARD Summer is constructed on another year of success following its move to Hollywood Park, which spans over 300 acres. Launched at this impressive venue last year, the festival offers fans and newcomers alike more immersive experiences, interactive features, and innovative activations, pushing the boundaries of festival enjoyment.
HARD Summer remains devoted to fostering community relations through initiatives like the ‘Pre-Game’ program launched last year, partnering with 17 local businesses across Greater Los Angeles, including five from the city of the festival. By offering small businesses opportunities to participate, the festival solidifies its connection to the regions it inhabits.
Tickets for the festival will be available starting March 7 at 10 AM PT for two-day general admission passes, GA+, and VIP options. Fans eager to secure their spots can also sign up for SMS notifications to access exclusive early ticket sales at 9 AM PT on the same day. The festival is sweetening the offer by providing early purchasers with the option to secure tickets with just a $9.95 deposit.
After moving to Hollywood Park, HARD Summer has decided to address noise complaints from neighboring venues, which have raised concerns over bass frequencies at the American Airlines Plaza. James T. Butts Jr., the mayor of the city, stated, “With the lessons learned this past weekend, we are prepared to monitor and supervise future event organizers to minimize the sound and vibration impact on the community outside the venue.” This proactive approach ensures the festival continues to thrive whilst respecting its local environment.
The 2025 HARD Summer promises to be another remarkable chapter with its eclectic mix of artists and celebratory spirit. The anticipation is palpable as fans count down to the event dates, and the stages come alive with strong beats and vibrant memories. Tickets are expected to go fast, and for music lovers, missing this festival would be unthinkable.
