Hollywood Park has a date. Hard Summer Music Festival returns to the 300-acre Inglewood entertainment complex adjacent to SoFi Stadium on August 1-2, and the 2026 edition arrives with a refreshed layout designed to improve flow between stages and an expanded Green Stage area giving attendees more room to move.
Since relocating to Hollywood Park in 2024, Hard Summer has grown into the largest electronic music event in Los Angeles, drawing a genre-spanning crowd that reflects the city’s layered musical identity. The festival’s curatorial reach consistently pulls from electronic, Latin, hip-hop, and underground scenes simultaneously, and that broad programming approach has cemented its place as one of the West Coast’s most influential mid-year events. Last year’s headliners included Dom Dolla, Feid, Gesaffelstein, and Kaytranada, a lineup that covered serious ground across styles and regions.
The 2026 lineup has not yet been announced, but two-day GA, GA+, and VIP passes are on sale now. Hard Summer also continues its Hard Pre-Game initiative, which has partnered with more than 17 Greater Los Angeles businesses since 2023, including four Inglewood-based establishments in 2025, reinforcing the festival’s commitment to its home community.
