The new location for HARD SUMMER will allow for more stages, more talent and more fans.  Just 10 miles away from downtown, the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area is an urban oasis, a beautiful park boasting over 100 acres which will be converted to a major festival area.  Five stages with over 75 performers will take the HARD SUMMER experience to a whole new level.

“I can't believe HARD summer will turn 7 this year!  The HARD team is looking forward to producing a festival at Whittier Narrows,” says Gary Richards of HARD Events..  “It's such a great park with more room to do things that have not been possible for HARD in the past.  Plus it has tons of trees and grass which makes a great setting for the festival.”

Last year’s HARD SUMMER took place at the Los Angeles State Historic Park and drew over 70,000 fans.   Performers included leading artists in the electronic and hip-hop worlds, including Knife Party, Justice (DJ Set), Duck Sauce, Dog Blood, Bassnectar, Empire of the Sun, 2 Chainz, Zedd, Crystal Castles, Baauer, Dillon Francis and many more.  Look for the line-up for the 2014 edition to be announced in the coming weeks.
