I've been to several Hard events now and I have to say this was the best one yet! The security was great, everything was kept very clean inside the venue, the artists and lineup were amazing. The only thing that they could improve on is the sound quality in some of the hangers. When there's only one set of speakers in the front the echo vibrates weirdly.
After attending at least 10 HARD events it looks like I've unfortunately gone to my last HARD event.
Purchased my two day pass on the first day. Only to be stopped at the gate Sunday since my ticket was used already. How is that possible? I purchased the ticket from day one, never posted an image of it on social media. Somehow my ticket was used, couldn't get in. Went to costumer service & was told the same thing. Not much help.awesome
Loved the 21+ crowd. Much more mature, happy, and fun group. Everyone who was there was truly there for the music. Hard always has the best music out of any festival. Went to escape the day before which was fun but hard is the best. They did a great job with the Halloween theme. Loved the Smirnoff tent it had AC. All the indoor stages were well set up and sound quality was excellent. Destructo, marshmello, kill the noise and Skrillex were all awesome but everyone was great. Unforgettable experience can't wait until next year. They should do the same exact thing for hard summer and add more festivals. Wish it would go later than 11 pm though.
Venue has no rides, took away from fun. Love the fact that there was plenty to drink but come on now, insomniac events totally kill with their production, set up, lights, rides, it's all about a VIBE. Unfortunately, DOTD this year had no PLUR vibes, everything seemed so secluded and while the sets were great, it's about seeing new faces in crowds, vibing with one another. Last year was more spread out and rides, designs and just everything was better. Don't get me wrong-still had fun but really REALLY wish hard would step it up again if not future events will suck.
Great music! The 21+ setup was amazing. HARD really stepped up their game as far as sound production.
seriously the best event I've ever been too and the ticket process was so easy I love that I had it on my phone.
This years harddotd was the best one yet! I loved the lazers the bass the vibes everything was so amazing
I don't think that the fact it was 21+ over made much of a difference to me but I enjoyed my first HARD event. I didn't like the TSA pat down search but I guess better safe than sorry. Also, it's not as decorated and festive like Insomniac events but they make up for it with the lineup and breathing room. Nevertheless, with the amount of people there it wasn't over crowded, the free parking was a bonus and the lineup of artists was AMAZING! I went there to see Keith Ape & and ended up staying for Juicy J, missing Skrillex though. However, Ty Dolla $ign special appearance was cool too. It's 3 days later and I swear my ears are still popping from all that bass but I loved it!
Love HARD, and everything they stand for, but it's becoming more of a hassle than it's worth to attend. I understand the pressure the city puts on HARD to throw a safe, drug-free event, but for those of us that are generally there to see all the great, underrated talent, it's not fun to be treated like a common criminal when you're trying to get into the event. Three check points to get into DOTD (one that required that you remove your shoes), plus multiple amnesty boxes to drop off drugs without consequence, you would think I'm trying to enter a foreign country -- not a music festival. Ravers are going to rave...it's what they do. Whether in an abandoned warehouse, or at a sanctioned event operating under the magnified scrutiny of the media and law enforcement...ravers are going to participate in illicit activities!! I appreciate the sentiment of officers passing out drug-safety flyers at DOTD, but there needs to be more of this; a focused effort on safety over blunt prosecution. That said, the level of talent brought to this event was unparalleled, but the crowd lacked energy to give everything a sort of lackluster vibe. Everything from your typical EDM mainstays, to the veterans of house, and the newcomers in niche genres, were represented. Nobody does it like HARD! It will be interesting to see if HARD will be able to continue operating in LA in the future. It would also be a shame to see such amazing electronic programming leave this cash-cow city. To separate themselves from the label "rave" borders on impossible, but if they can successfully do that, and remain as popular as they have been in the past, it would be revolutionary.
I went to hard summer and day of the dead last year and both events were pretty good. Production at hard is always terrible but they always have good music. This year however, the music was terrible and they had so many malfunctions it was ridiculous. Also security was so crazy I was so sketched out the whole time and I wasn't even carrying anything on me. Never doing a hard event ever again.
I'm 90% sure this was one of the best festivals because it was a 21 & over event. I've been to so many shows and festivals and this was one of the best ones! Very clean for the most part and organized and the staff was great. And the lines were not long at all, and they gave free chapstick which is great.
I had a horrible experience at Hard Summer '15. They completely revamped everything and made DOTD such an amazing time. I didn't have any problems getting in and out of sets, no issue finding water/food, no issues not being able to hear music. And the fact that they had the vendors and bathrooms inside the tents?! Jesus I love you guys for that.
The music was fine, but it didn't seem excited no rides but plenty of food trucks, I prefer hard summer than day of the dead, I left early it just wasn't for me. Escape is much better than day of the dead. I honestly imagine day of the dead differently.
So much fun! I was a little un sure about the stages being inside but there was no dust and there were numbers attached to the wall of the side of the stages to indicate your location. One stage closed because it was over capacity so that sucked but over all it was a great event!
I'm seeing marshmello at Global in 3 weeks but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see him go HARD!! Best show I've ever seen! Skrillex was amazing! He never disappoints. His guests help amp the crowd up giving them a show they will never forget! Worth every dollar I spent and every hour I spent driving there and back from Phoenix!!
The venue is nice ends too early tho & way too many cops
Loved all the improvements. We spoke out previously and our voices were heard. Thank you HARD FAM!! See you soon
This event was amazing. It wasn't too crowded, the air conditioned buildings were perfect. There was a strong police presence but they were friendly and great. I saw medics with stretchers on standby everywhere I looked but never once saw anyone sick on the stretchers which made me feel comfortable knowing everyone was safe and response time would be short if something went wrong. The music got excessively loud towards the end of the second day but it was great the rest of the time. The 21 and over vibe was chill; everyone was having a good time without looking trashy
I went to last years day of the dead 2014 and it was amazing, but this years was so lame due to the entrance and line up. No rides or mazes at all. Money not worth it
