Hard Summer fest is back, this time as a two-day event, August 3-4, at Los Angeles State Historic Park.

The organizers were kind enough to share the line-up with West Coast Sound before anyone else. The EDM-focused party is headlined by this dude with a weird haircut you may have heard of named Skrillex, as well as Bloc Party, Miike Snow (live), Boys Noize, Bloody Beetroots (DJ set), Nero (Live), Squarepusher, and A-Trak. There's some serious hip-hop talent on the bill as well, including Danny Brown, Action Bronson, and Mr. Muthafuckin' Exquire.

The full slate of scheduled performers is below.

Skrillex is pure inspiration to me. I just started making my own music (with Dr Drum) and his stuff is always in the back of my mind when i work. I hope to reach his level some day :D
