HARD Summer Announces Dates and Location of 2025 Edition

The 2025 edition of HARD Summer will take place on August 1-2 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California.

While most people try to beat the heat during the summer, HARD Events always gives ravers a reason to look forward to the warm season with by hosting the music festival HARD Summer. Each of the past three editions have been held at a different venue — but same as last year, HARD Events has announced that this year’s festival will take place at Hollywood Park in Inglewood on August 1-2.

The announcement might come as a surprise to some locals with a finger on the pulse of dance music. Last year’s edition at Hollywood Park was met with numerous noise complaints from residents in the surrounding area, even leading to the City of Inglewood banning future concerts and events from being held on certain parts of the adjacent SoFi Plaza.

But when Inglewood Mayor James Butts addressed the complaints last year, he seemed more eager to find solutions that didn’t involve HARD Summer relocating for the fourth consecutive year. Pointing out that there had been “multiple outdoor concerts on the SoFi campus without this issue,” he simply suggested that no stages would be built on the American Airlines Plaza area of the park.

At the time of writing, no lineup details have been announced for the 2025 edition of HARD Summer. Historically, the festival has made a name for itself by pairing artists from all corners of the dance music world with major names in hip-hop and adjacent styles.

Don’t miss your chance to attend the biggest party to end the summer. HARD Summer passes go on sale Friday, January 31 at 10am PT via Front Gate.
