Promoters of the annual Hard Summer music festival announced that the event will return on Aug. 3-4, but it has found a new home at Hollywood Park just outside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
The 16th annual EDM and hip-hop music festival curated by Insomniac Events is bringing back the event’s mainstage, Pink Stage for house and techno, Harder Stage for multiple genres, Green Stage for bass and dubstep and the Purple Stage for high-energy club DJ sets.
Though the lineup has yet to be announced, passes will go on sale starting at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 16 at hardsummer.com.  An SMS presale for fans will start at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 16. To honor the festival’s relocation to the 310 area code, Hard Summer is also offering a $3.10 deposit available only on Feb. 16.
Since its inception, Hard Summer has been a staple in the EDM circuit in Southern California. Highlights from last year’s event included 21 Savage, Kaskade B2B John Summit, Oliver Tree, Black Coffee, Skrillex B2B Four Tet, Ludacris and more.
Last year’s edition celebrated 15 years of Hard Summer by taking place in various venues and stages scattered throughout Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Exposition Park and BMO Stadium (formerly Banc of California Stadium).
Previously, it’s taken place at Kia Forum in Inglewood, Los Angeles State Historic Park, the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in El Monte, Fairplex in Pomona, Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino and the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino.
