Los Angeles’ largest music festival, HARD Summer, is set to return in 2014 at a new location – the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area. The seventh edition of the festival is scheduled for Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd at the new festival grounds which will allow for even more stages, artists, and fans. Located only ten miles from downtown Los Angeles, the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area is a beautiful park of over 100 acres, perfect for 2014’s five planned stages with over 75 different artists.
HARD’s Gary Richards shared his excitement about the announcement. “I can’t believe HARD Summer will turn seven this year! The HARD team is looking forward to producing a festival at Whittier Narrows. It’s such a great park with more room to do things that have not been possible for HARD in the past. Plus it has tons of trees and grass which makes a great setting for the festival.”
The 2013 edition of the festival saw over 70,000 fans coming together at the Los Angeles State Historic Park for an all-star lineup of electronic music and hip hop artists such as Knife Party, Justice, Bassnectar, 2 Chainz, Zedd, Empire of the Sun, and more. The 2014 lineup is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets for HARD Summer will be available starting this Friday on the festival’s official website.
