Five Must-See Acts At HARD Summer Next Weekend

We’re almost one week out from SoCal’s HARD Summer, set to take place at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park, adjacent to SoFi Stadium, on August 3rd and 4th. With a lineup as stacked as this one, it can be hard to choose which artists to prioritize on your weekend itinerary. Read on for a list of Must-See acts at this year’s HARD Summer.

Disclosure

Award-winning production duo/brothers, Disclosure, are one of dance music’s most successful acts. With iconic breakout tracks like ‘Latch‘ and ‘You & Me‘ (later remixed notoriously by Flume), it didn’t take long for this pair’s career to catapult to new heights. This duo knows how to put on a live show, and they are not an act you seen on lineups often. In fact, they just performed their first live set since 2016 earlier this year at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. So don’t miss your chance to see them in action on Saturday! I promise it’ll be a good time.

REZZMAU5

REZZMAU5 is the collaborative project everyone’s been buzzing about, and for good reason. The pair first teamed up in 2021 for their collaboration, ‘Hypnocurrency,’ leaving fans begging for more. They officially teamed up as REZZMAU5 last year, marking the new b2b project with its debut release, ‘Infraliminal‘ on mau5trap. They’ve since performed a few coveted REZZMAU5 sets, including at Canada’s Veld Music Festival and most recently, Belgium’s Tomorrowland. While Rezz and deadmau5 alone might be easy to catch on a lineup, a REZZMAU5 set is still few and far between, so don’t miss you chance to see these two incredible acts combine their unique sounds on Friday night!

Levity

This trio from Chicago might just be the most talked-about EDM act of the past year. They first appeared on everyone’s radar after Electric Forest 2023, in which they were a last-minute replacement for another artist at the Honeycomb stage. The set, which they later uploaded to SoundCloud, took the world by storm, showcasing their energetic stage presence, crowd interaction, and a unique blend of all different genres. Levity will be bringing the vibes to HARD Summer on Saturday. Don’t miss out on the fun!

Mary Droppinz

I first had the opportunity to witness a Mary Droppinz set at Deadrocks earlier this month. I was blown away by the energy she emanated from behind the decks, with her nonstop smiling, dancing, and mixing banger after banger. She also brought her own dancers to perform on stage, who brought up the vibes of the set even more. Covering everything from house to dubstep to UK rap to riddim, Mary Droppinz defies genre boundaries. That’s exactly what makes her live performances so entertaining, so don’t miss your chance to catch Mary on Saturday!

Chase & Status

If you’ve been to a festival within the last year, you’ve likely heard ‘Baddadan,’ the mega-collab between Chase & Status, Bou, Flown, IRAH, Trigga, and Takura. While this drum & bass hit has taken the festival circuit by storm, Chase & Status has been on the map for a lot longer than its July 2023 release date. This duo is among legends in the UK DnB community, with releases that date back to the early 2000s. If you’re a fan of high-energy drum & bass, or witnessing iconic acts live, don’t miss HARD Summer’s special guest, Chase & Status, on Saturday.
