It’s almost go time. HARD DAY OF THE DEAD, coming up Saturday, November 1 and Sunday, November 2 at Fairplex (1101 W. McKinley Ave. Pomona, CA), is just days away. In anticipation of what will be one of the season’s biggest music happenings, event producer HARD Events have made available set times for each day, with the festival fun map depicting all the various amenities and rides among the music stages; there’s also an app for iPhone and Android to expertly keep up with it all (http://www.harddayofthedead.com/app). A festival first, HARD DAY OF THE DEAD will feature an actual zip-line ride that will take you soaring over the grandstand and above the HARD Stage crowd. Info on that and more can be found at www.harddayofthedead.com

HARD Events’yearly SoCal Halloween event is making it big for 2014 with a pretty spectacular line-up: KNIFE PARTY, PRETTY LIGHTS’ (live) west coast festival debut and DIPLO, plus special guests deadmua5 vs ERIC PRYDZ (who also bring mau5-ville, a stage co-curated by deadmau5 and Eric Prydz featuring a very special back-to-back set from the masters themselves) will headline Saturday, November 1; and CALVIN HARRIS, ZEDD and BASSNECTAR will headline Sunday, November 2. In between, there’s a ton of cool music from some of the most cutting-edge artists in electronic and hip-hop today. Highlights followed by the full line-up follow below.

ZHU, one of 2014’s most intriguing breakthrough acts, will make his North American live debut at HARD DAY OF THE DEAD on Saturday, November 1. The elusive artist performed for the first time in late September at Listen Out in Australia debuting custom stage production, and had fans belting out lyrics to tracks “Faded“ and “Superfriends” from THE NIGHTDAY EP.
