From dubstep and trap to house and indie dance, the HARD Summer 2023 Compilation features a range of sounds that will permeate the festival.
HARD Summer is making some significant moves this year as it heads back to its home city of Los Angeles after trotting around other regions of Southern California. The massive footprint of the festival will dominate LA Memorial Coliseum, BMO Stadium, and the surrounding Exposition Park when it returns on August 5-6, and the excitement has steadily built for those who are planning to catch sets at the festival’s five stages.
The size of the venue isn’t the only thing that’s larger than life for this edition of HARD Summer, as the lineup is also packing a hearty punch. Whether you’re planning to catch the b2bs featuring Kaskade and John Summit or Skrillex and Four Tet, or you’re getting hyped up for performances from Gorgon City, DIESEL, Dillon Francis, Kid Cudi, or Black Coffee, there’s plenty to explore.
