The HARD Summer Music Festival is set to make its return to Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California, on August 1st and 2nd, 2026. Organisers have officially unveiled the artist lineup for the upcoming edition, promising an expansive and diverse program.
Confirmed acts include Zedd, Kali Uchis, Zach Fox, Underscores, 2hollis, and many more. This eclectic mix continues the festival’s tradition of genre-spanning programming, a hallmark that has defined the brand’s raw visual identity and vibrant energy for nearly two decades.
Founded in 2007, the HARD brand has evolved significantly over the years, transitioning from its origins in Downtown Los Angeles to becoming a staple of the electronic music scene under the control of Insomniac Events.
Beyond the main stage, the festival maintains strong community ties through the “HARD Pre-Game” initiative, which has partnered with over 17 local businesses since 2023. As the event prepares for its return to Inglewood, organisers continue to foster deep community engagement by inviting local establishments to apply for partnerships for the upcoming edition.
