News: Hard Summer Reveals 2015 Lineup Via Must-See Video
–Written by Kevin Madert
The lineup for HARD Summer is here, and true to Hard form it’s relayed to us via a humorous video announcement featuring familiar faces like Dillon Francis, Porter Robinson, Skrillex, and Chromeo – all of whom will perform at this year’s festival.
Set to take over the Fairplex in Pomona, Calif. August 1 and 2, Hard Summer 2015 will also be headlined by The Weeknd, The Chemical Brothers, Schoolboy Q, The Glitch Mob, Odesza, Tchami, & Gorgon City (8/1) and Jack Ü, Ratatat, RL Grime, Die Antwoord, Zeds Dead, Robin Schulz, & Maya Jane Coles(8/2), among dozens of other well-selected acts.
It’s another huge year for the festival, curated and helmed as always by Gary Richards (aka Destructo). The strength of the undercard is impressive, with some of our favorite acts appearing below the bold font – including deep house dons Vanilla Ace & T. Williams and funk-peddlers GRiZ and Matoma.
