The full lineup arrived on Tuesday (May 3rd), along with a press release that explains what attendees can expect this year. "HARD Summer 2022 will see the veteran festival push deeper and further into its singular blend of forward-thinking electronic music and cutting-edge hip-hop, as well as devoting more programming to rising artists of diverse backgrounds, spotlighting new sounds as they gain traction across the Internet and beyond," it reads.

If you're a fan of electronic music, you'll be happy to know that names like Australia's Alison Wonderland, France's Madeon, and Detroit's funkmaster GRiZ have all been tapped to take the stage, with a handful of up and comers also showing off their skills.


The California-based event truly has something for everyone, and with a new three-day lineup, there's endless amounts of fun to be had.
