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.
