Ready to go to a music festival again? Well, whether you are or not, they’re coming back.
After calling off its 2020 edition—and never even making it as far as announcing a lineup—the electronic and hip-hop–focused HARD Summer is coming back in 2021, and maybe sooner than you’d expect. The music fest is slated to take over San Bernardino’s NOS Event Center on July 31 and August 1.
Future, DJ Snake back-to-back with Malaa, 2 Chainz, Dillon Francis, Kaytranada and RL Grime back-to-back with Baauer top this year’s edition.
Of course, California has yet to release any sort of guidance about when and how music festivals can return (though the state has green-lit seated outdoor performances). That didn’t stop Outside Lands from announcing its return over Halloween weekend. Coachella, on the other hand, scrapped its spring date and has yet to announce any further plans. HARD’s summer date feels comparatively daring. Festival organizers do note, however, that they’ll follow all state and local health guidelines that are in place at the time of the event.
Tickets go on sale Friday, April 2 at 10am for $159, with a $9.95 deposit.
Though the fest promoters have yet to say anything about specific public health changes they expect to make, HARD does note that it’ll arrive with “a new expanded layout” that promises more shade across its five outdoor stages. If you splurge on VIP passes, you’ll gain access to a splash pool and a dedicated entrance and bathrooms.
