HARD Events, producers of the fifth annual HARD SUMMER—returning to downtown’s Los Angeles State Historic Park August 3-4, 2012, as a two-day event for the first time in its 5-year history—have officially released the detailed lineup for its famed festival. Bloc Party, Boys Noize and Miike Snow headline Friday night (August 3) and Skrillex, Nero and The Bloody Beetroots take over Saturday night (August 4), while more than 50 acts span techno, hip-hop, rock, funk, bass, dubstep and beyond on four stages each night. Two-day passes for HARD SUMMER are available now at www.hardfest.com.
“After producing HOLY SHIP! last year as well as the 2-day HARD Haunted Mansion for the past five years, we’ve discovered the fans’ experience grows exponentially when they each attend a festival together from start to finish,” explains HARD. “We want fans to interact inside and outside the festival hours. Your commitment to making it the best weekend of the summer benefits everyone, from the international artists on stage to the California State Parks and the thousands of traveling fans around you. Hosting a music festival in this beautiful city is an honor and a privilege. This is the first of many years HARD SUMMER will be a two-day event, so we’ve priced the two-day pass to be more affordable than anything else on the market. We even set up a layaway plan that starts at $54.77.”
