On July 25, 2026, the lights of the Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater dimmed, and smoke came billowing onto the stage. The Fray’s Jeremy McCoy, Dan Lavery, and fellow bandmates began to play the opening notes of their newest album’s titular song “A Light That Waits”. Soon after, lead vocalist Joe King emerged from the fog and began to sing. The band members were all dressed for the occasion, wearing monochromatic pants, polos, and vests.

Born out of a love for the inclusion of all types of music, Hard Summer has always blurred the lines between hip-hop, rap, and electronic music. This weekend, the festival returned to Hollywood Park, nestled between Los Angeles’ two iconic entertainment landmarks. SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum, where booming bass, packed crowds, and nonstop energy turned the grounds into one of Southern California’s biggest summer celebrations.

Hard Summer only comes around once a year, but somehow it manages to pack every kind of festival experience into one weekend. Taking over Los Angeles on August 1–2, Hard Summer’s stacked lineup includes Mau P, Knock 2 B2B Zedd, and Sammy Virji. So instead of stressing over who to see, let’s start with something more important: the energy you’re looking for. Pick your vibe, and we’ll tell you which sets deserve a spot at the top of your schedule.

I sing and play guitar for the rock band Howells, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
