HARD Summer 2025 returned with unmatched force this past weekend, transforming the Hollywood Park into a genre-bending, bass-heavy playground for music lovers from across the globe. The two-day festival (August 2–3) delivered a powerful blend of techno, house, hip-hop, reggaeton, and experimental sounds — all framed by a scenic SoFi-adjacent skyline and the high energy of a fully sold-out crowd.
The lineup for HARD Summer 2025 was nothing short of monumental. From global headliners to underground visionaries, each stage offered a curated sonic journey. Saturday saw dazzling sets from Kaytranada, Feid, and Floating Points, while Sunday closed with a thunderous performance by Gesaffelstein, who turned the main stage into a cathedral of industrial techno darkness.
Other major highlights included high-energy house performances from Dom Dolla, James Hype, and The Blessed Madonna, gritty techno sets from 999999999, I Hate Models, and Nico Moreno, and bass-heavy explosions from PEEKABOO and Tape B B2B Mersiv.
Hip-hop royalty made a serious return to the festival as well, with iconic performances from Busta Rhymes, and Juvenile & The 400 Degreez Band, reminding attendees that HARD Summer continues to embrace its multi-genre roots. See photos below!
