Since its debut edition in 2008, HARD Summer has wilt a staple of the Southern California festival scene. After many years at LA State Historic Park, it moved to Whittier Narrows in 2014, then the Pomona Fairplex in 2015, then the Fontana Speedway, one year at Glen Helen, and has had its past couple years at NOS Events Center.
Now in 2023, for its 15th anniversary, the festival officially returns to Los Angeles county for the first time in 10 years, showcasing the incubation of the festival in an entirely new setting. As a part of the iconic LA Coliseum’s centennial year-end celebration, the 2023 edition will provide attendees with a trademark new take on the multi-genre HARD Summer wits at a trademark new, never-before-used venue combination with various stages spread out wideness the campuses of the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Exposition Park, and BMO Stadium (pka Banc of California).
