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.
HARD Summer 2026 Lineup
Two days beside SoFi Stadium where techno, jungle, jersey club and rap share stages — Charlotte de Witte and Kali Uchis on the same weekend.
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, techno, house and electronic across 93 acts.
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.
- 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.
- RL Grime — The producer who made festival trap feel cinematic — enormous drops with real compositional care, Halloween-mix mythology included.
- Amelie Lens — Belgium's techno figurehead — relentless, hypnotic peak-time sets that carried her from Antwerp warehouses to the genre's biggest global stages.
Up-and-comers to catch early
- Snow Strippers — Detroit duo making blown-out electroclash for a very online audience.
