Hard Summer Festival

Hard Summer Music Festival is so much more than just a few big name artists showing up on stage and performing, it’s a brilliantly orchestrated event that brings together the best hip hop, rap, and EMD artists on the planet for three life-changing days! Featuring artists like Joji, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, and more, the line up would make even the biggest festival fan lose their minds.

Hard Summer is an annual music festival that is hosted in Los Angeles on the first weekend of August, and it acts as a send-off to Summer. Next year’s line up will be announced closer to the time of the event, and you can get updates on the Discotech app. Hard Summer 2023 promises to be event crazier, so you’ll want to purchase tickets early so they don’t sell out!

• Put an emergency contact information on your phone’s lock screen in case you loose it or have a medical emergency
• If you want to buy merch, we recommend doing that first because it usually sells out pretty fast
• Wearing comfortable shoes is a must! Dancing for 3 days can put a lot of strain on your feet
• Wear sunscreen and bring earplugs just in case
• If you feel dehydrated, visit one of the free water refill stations or a medical tent if you feel really bad
• Always have a meeting spot so you know where to go if your group gets split up
