HARD Summer is a melting pot of festival cultures with a unique mix of dance music and rap icons. For many stage hoppers young and old, HARD Summer has been the place where they first fell in love with festivals. The balance of rap and dance music makes HARD Summer a great festival for newcomers to experience everything that rave culture stands for while being able to enjoy sets from their favorite rap artists.
