About HARD Summer 2026
HARD Summer has spent two decades refusing to be a straightforward dance festival, and the 2026 edition is the clearest statement of that yet: Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens bringing full hard techno, Kali Uchis and Zack Fox on the same bill, and an undercard that runs through jersey club, jungle, garage and hyperpop without apology.
It sits on the Hollywood Park lot next to SoFi Stadium, which makes it the most urban festival of the six: no camping, no fields, just two days of a very Los Angeles crowd. Saturday leans techno and Latin club; Sunday is the rowdier day, with RL Grime, Andy C, Sammy Virji and a Knock2 b2b Zedd billing. Every act's day is published.
Expect dance, electronic, techno and house across 93 acts.

KNTXT founder and the most visible face of modern hard techno — relentless, acid-inflected, absolutely locked in, headlining the global boom she helped create.
Velvet-toned bilingual soul that drifts between doo-wop pastiche and perreo without ever raising its voice — 'Telepatía' cool as a permanent state.
The producer who made festival trap feel cinematic — enormous drops with real compositional care, Halloween-mix mythology included.
Alex Ridha's brand of electro is abrasive by design — hardware-driven, distorted, and consistently ahead of whatever is fashionable, two decades running.
Australian four-piece playing dance-pop as full choreographed comedy — costume changes, deadpan bits, and one of the best live shows on any bill anywhere.
Knock2 B2B Zedd
Ellum boss whose sets swing from deep melodic house into hard, driving techno without warning — two decades of shape-shifting authority.
Euphoric, garage-inflected house with a melodic streak that lands somewhere between rave and daydream — full-color club joy.
Argentine club provocateur — neoperreo heat with hyperpop gloss, Buenos Aires underground gone international, provocation with pop precision.
Montreal's arch electroclash survivor — deadpan vocals, filthy synths, and a sense of humor most techno lacks, 'Sunglasses at Night' included.
Dominican rapper whose raw, deliberately provocative dembow made her a genuine cultural flashpoint — underground Santo Domingo carried to global stages.
Bay Area hyperpop auteur — glitchy, hooky, scene-defining, 'Wallsocket' worldbuilding included, internet-native songwriting at its sharpest.
Brazil's biggest house export — melodic, festival-scaled, and unashamedly emotive, São Paulo stadiums to global main stages.
Comedian and rapper in equal measure — the jokes are real and so, annoyingly, are the songs, beats from rap's A-list included.
A classically trained producer whose precision-engineered pop-EDM defined mainstage sound for a decade — 'Clarity' still the gold standard.
Osaka-born cult selector Yousuke Yukimatsu — genre-shredding DJ sets that went from viral clips to worldwide bookings, anything-goes technique with total joy.
10cust
Brisbane producer working in house — club tracks built for local dancefloors rather than festival-sized drops.
Rage-adjacent producer-vocalist making synth-heavy, blown-out digital pop for a very online audience — icy arpeggios, distorted 808s, and hooks that hit like a video-game boss theme.
Adiel B2B Quest
Adult Hits
After Midnight
Alarico B2B Yanamaste
Andy C: Alive
French producer whose acid-heavy techno sits somewhere between rave nostalgia and something meaner — fast, playful, and increasingly one of Europe's most in-demand selectors.
B3K B2B Boys Noize
Bahar Khadem
Bianca Oblivion, Star Eyes
Bolo
Brunello
Berlin's gabber-punk duo — screamed German vocals over pummeling club tempos, equal parts rave, hardcore show, and performance-art provocation.
Bushbaby
Canary Yellow
Capes
Cerulo
chloe404, Kyle Arthur
UK bass house at its most swaggering — rolling low end and hip-hop cadence, built for a dark room rather than a sunny field.

Sibling NYC hyperpop chaos agents — glitchy, funny, and relentless, a live set that plays like a timeline scrolled at maximum speed.
fun2bjane
Gay Felony
Scottish DJ whose doof-inflected hard house has become one of the UK's biggest club draws — Dundee dental nurse turned rave phenomenon.
Hyperbeam
Interplanetary Criminal B2B Main Phase
South African beat scientist — glitchy, off-grid bass that rewards close listening as much as headbanging.
Lake Hills, ØNYX
Lily Ardalan
Locklead
Lovefoxy
Melbourne minimal-house groover on the rise — sleek, rolling grooves from the city's flourishing club scene.
Genre-agnostic selector moving between breaks, house, and hip-hop in a single set — turntablist chops under the party instincts.
Dutch producer whose breakout single became one of the most-played club records of its year — 'Drugs from Amsterdam' bounce, still going.
Live From Earth co-founder making rowdy, meme-literate club tracks — ghetto-tech cheek at Berlin volume, club chaos with a grin.
Mesmé
Mez Monty, Shane Thomas
Miguelle & Tons
Miluhska

Naomi Green
Miami producer bending dembow and Latin club rhythms into something genuinely futuristic — regional heat engineered for the global underground.

Oscar Osorio
Pegassi
Pitchblack
Quinn Blake
Ranger Trucco
DJ and producer working a loose, groove-led strain of house built for long stretches rather than peaks.
RØZ

Samwise
Shaking
Shygirl presents Club Shy
Sim Ivy
SMALL (Danny G Luvs Y B2B Bori)
Lo-fi electroclash duo — distorted synths and detached vocals for the afterparty, Detroit cool for the post-everything generation.

Polish techno provocateur — fast, hard, and gleefully irreverent, rave intensity with an internet-native sense of humor.
X CLUB. B2B ATRIP
The headliners
Charlotte de Witte — KNTXT founder and the most visible face of modern hard techno — relentless, acid-inflected, absolutely locked in, headlining the global boom she helped create. Saturday's techno anchor, and the genre's biggest current draw.
Kali Uchis — Velvet-toned bilingual soul that drifts between doo-wop pastiche and perreo without ever raising its voice — 'Telepatía' cool as a permanent state. The bill's pop outlier, and a genuinely odd, welcome booking here.
RL Grime — The producer who made festival trap feel cinematic — enormous drops with real compositional care, Halloween-mix mythology included. Festival trap's most cinematic producer, closing Sunday.
Amelie Lens — Belgium's techno figurehead — relentless, hypnotic peak-time sets that carried her from Antwerp warehouses to the genre's biggest global stages. Sunday's other techno headline, a Belgian pairing with de Witte across the weekend.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Snow Strippers — Detroit duo making blown-out electroclash for a very online audience.
- fun2bjane — One of the sharper new names on the Sunday bill.
Etari — Rising producer worth catching before the sets get bigger.
