The sound was quiet, there werent any decorations other than the giant word "HARD"- the only bar at the main stage was for VIP so if you wanted a drink you had to go to the other stage, they didn't sell water, the confetti was small and lifeless, and the headliners were god awful, transitions sucked, music choice was bizarre, and security was very pushy in the crowd.
Took to long to get drinks in the vip bar, I waited 40 minutes to get two drinks. (And I got charged twice for my order.) Didn't have a set schedule so it was impossible to try and plan out what time to be at each stage, especially since the order that they were listed didn't match who played. Security was quick and did their job well. Over all I'm on the fence about going to another hard event. Would have been nice to have the "Hard" sign lit up partially so that I could've at least gotten some decent pictures.
The artists were all amazing and there was a lot of interaction with the audience
Even though security took a while to get through, and some workers did not know some simple questions... it seems like communication was a big deal because the workers were not consistently informed correctly. I was a little upset that the showers were not working the set-up night, before the festival started. But when the showers were open it had good pressure and hot water! Thank goodness <3 The festival grounds were spaced well so each stage is secluded and has it's own vibe. There were lots of food and drink vendors, bathroom stalls, and shaded areas to spend the whole day cruising around the festival. HARD Summer had great sounds and nice screens for visuals, lasers, and spot lights too.
The venue and everything for the most part was great! VIP wasn't as great. They sent an email about the great food selection and all they had at the main stage was ONE hot dog truck. The exclusive bathroom building was the bathroom for all the employees so there ended up being a major line to use them while general public bathrooms were the easiest in-and-out. At the other VIP section they had port-a-pottys. Maybe 10 to 13. By the end of the night they were backed up and gross. The VIP areas in front of the stage were amazing and I would do VIP again, if ever again, for that factor.
Everything was great but the parking and getting into and out of the event was terrible .
Lines were quick, there was plenty of water station. FOod is a bit expensive, but it is totlaly worth it to see 10+ of your favorite artists in one sitting.
The venue was great! There was basically no line for me to get my tickets at will call and the event staff were amazing. I remember laying down because my legs were tired and the staff popped outta nowhere and asked if I was okay even though all my friends were around me.
The improvement from Hard Summer '16 to Hard Summer '17 was amazing!!! The entire event was perfection from having all the lines being quick and easy, as well as organized. By having a water station at the bottom of the venue was convenient because we we're able to drink water while waiting in the heat. The set up of all the stages was perfect and the water stations inside always went by super fast. Having phone service in some areas was nice because we were able to meet up with people. Overall, my HSMF experience was perfect and for it being my friend's first Hard event, he LOVED it. GREAT JOB GUYS!! <3 I'll definitely be going again next year!
I went to day one and this is the first festival I have gone to with my boyfriend. I had the best time of my life. One of the best weekends I have ever had in my life. The music, staff and attendees were all so great and friendly. Even upon entering, they almost made me take my backpack back to my car, but after a thorough search (and what I hope to be my cooperation) they let me take it inside. Thank god. Couldn't have asked for a better time.
Places to relax, lineup was solid, lines to get in were nothing to worry about!
I usually don't care for a hard events in my opinion, but this year was actually incredible. The people weren't as bad as usual. I think it may have a lot to do with the venue. I much prefer Glen Helen over the speedway ANY DAY HANDS DOWN. I really hope Hard events can continue to be held at Glen Helen, if so they can expect me next time!
This venue was SPECTACULAR to have HARD SUMMER AT!! Way better than Cali speed way! Everything was Awesome at this venue (blockbuster pavilion)!!
Amazing job in comparison to the last few HARD summers!!!
I enjoyed this time for sure, If you compare this Hard summer with the last three ones, it def got way better so thank you but i'm not sure if the next one will be the same as the ones before this one.
Such a step up from 2016 everything was waaay better all around ! I actually went both days and both days were lit fammmmm
Wow, what a turnaround from last year. This year was insaneeee, so well put together. The line to get in? No problem, a breeze to get in. Stages were memorable. Cannot wait for what's in store for next year.
I think HARD has finally found its perfect venue. With some more investing in art installations around the grass, more trash cans, and wiser set times for the artists, this area can be very homey for the socal house, hip hop, and dub scene. With these changes, HARD would be a 10 instead of a 6.
Hard Summer was the most unforgettable vacation I had this year :')
Should end later than 12a. Food trucks would be better
