HARD Summer has jumped around in the last few years, with past fests at the now-under-construction LA State Historic Park, Whittier Narrows and Fairplex. The EDM juggernaut has finally found a new home—for now—and its more spacious grounds have brought a major change: camping.
The annual electronic music festival is taking advantage of its 500-acre footprint at the Auto Club Speedway with on-site campgrounds, the first in the fest's history. The campgrounds will include a grocery and general store as well as portable toilets, showers and water. There won't be any electrical outlets, but there will be cell phone charging stations. The grounds will be able to accommodate campers arriving in both cars and RVs.
Tickets for the HARD Summer campgrounds go on sale tomorrow, May 24, at 9am. Car passes cost $250, and RV passes are $400. That doesn't include the price of festival admission, which will run campers $129 for a two-day pass.
Ice Cube and Major Lazer will headline this year's HARD Summer music festival. Flosstradamus, Porter Robinson, DJ Khaled, Claude VonStroke and Dizzee Rascal top Saturday's lineup, with Dillon Francis, Travi$ Scott, Zeds Dead, Madeon and Fat Joe on Sunday. The two-day fest will take place at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on July 30 and 31.
