Live Nation's Hard Events has announced the lineup for its major summer festival Hard Summer. Headlining the 2015 lineup will be Skrillex and Diplo's duo Jack Ü, who will be taking a break from the Mad Decent Block Party tour, The Weeknd, who returns to Southern California after two stellar performances at Coachella, Porter Robinson with his live show, Ratatat as they continue on the comeback trail in 2015 and many more.
The bill will include a wide variety of acts across the electronic music spectrum like The Chemical Brothers, The Glitch Mob, Tchami, Dillon Francis, Chromeo, Rl Grime, Jauz, MK, Hudson Mohawke, Jamie XX, What So Not, Valentino Khan, Sweater beats, Lido, Milo & Otis and others, while also including hip-hop artists like SchoolBoy Q, Rae Sremmurd, Young Thug and ILoveMakonnen.
As is tradition with the festival, they release a completely outrageous trailer that has little to do with the actual festival but is there just for laughs. Dillon Francis stars as a solo musician who makes it big as a spooning musician, after breaking away from his band with Chromeo and Mija.
He formed a duo with Porter Robinson titled Spoon Ü, though he breaks that off because he wants to be the big spoon. Skrillex and Anna Lunoe are his ghost producers, but they are secretly using forks because as Moore notes "Everybody knows that spooning leads to forking." You can watch the full trailer below.
The festival (don't call it a rave) will take place on August 1-2 at the Fairplex in Pomona, California.
The lineup is already pretty stacked over both days, but there are more names to come in the following weeks. Head to Hard Summer's website to purchase single day or two-day passes. See the full lineup below.
