Hard Summer fest is back, this time as a two-day event, August 3-4, at Los Angeles State Historic Park.
The organizers were kind enough to share the line-up with West Coast Sound before anyone else. The EDM-focused party is headlined by this dude with a weird haircut you may have heard of named Skrillex, as well as Bloc Party, Miike Snow (live), Boys Noize, Bloody Beetroots (DJ set), Nero (Live), Squarepusher, and A-Trak. There's some serious hip-hop talent on the bill as well, including Danny Brown, Action Bronson, and Mr. Muthafuckin' Exquire.
The full slate of scheduled performers is below.
