In Photos: HARD Summer 2025

HARD Summer returned to LA’s Hollywood Park with an A-list roster for its 17th edition, with Joy Orbison, Four Tet, and Fcukers on the bill.

HARD Summer 2025 hit Hollywood Park in a blur of Californian heat in early August, offering up a packed programme of emerging talent and dance music heavy hitters. 

Day one of the festival featured sets from Sara Landry, The Blessed Madonna, Joy Orbison and Overmono, as well as a live performance from Floating Points. Kaytranada took the first headline spot of the weekend with a groove-driven set of deep cuts and fan favourites, while fellow headliner Feid ended the day with a selection of reggaeton hits. 

Day two saw Ki/Ki and DJ Gigola going b2b for a sun-bleached hardstyle EDM set, Nico Moreno delivering pounding industrial techno, as well as performances from Fcukers, Barry Can’t Swim, and Kilimanjaro b2b Melé. Four Tet brought UK garage and dubstep to LA, while headliner Gesafellstein closed out the festival with an audio-visual spectacle.
