THIS IS my first hard summer and in my opinion it’s a good on, But since i’m just a beginner i wanted to know if anyone can give me tips and like TIPS on to sneak in stuff.
I’m going in a group w my friends it’s all our first time at hard summer we’re staying at a hotel we found last minute since someone cancelled And it’s in Inglewood About 10-25 mins away from sofi it’s called hollywood something. But what should we bring/expect We’re all good looking dudes that have a height advantage what should we expect?

Please give me insight on when u guys got ur tickets mailed to u last year i dont want to see 2-6 weeks before the event😭😭

I would hate for us folks who spent good money on tickets and etc just for people to sneak in, plus they just overcrowded the venue. What intel does anyone have that HARD are on top of this issue?

Going for the first time this year, just Sunday. Driving up from San Diego..... My first question is what is the Parking situation like for those driving up? And since it ends kinda early, do most people just run it to Afters when it ends?

Anyone else who has made drive from SD to Hard have any insight? I've driven back home at 2am before, i'm not scared of the long drive back, but worry about being too tired if I do go to an Afters.... lmk 😁😁

I wanna meet random ppl and vibe

Have never been to Hard Summer Fest and not sure if I should get VIP. I saw some TikTok videos in which people were shoulder to shoulder and stuck in the crowd walking between stages. Would it be the same for VIP? Thanks!

If anyone could help me whether that’s pointing me to a different Reddit group or getting me in touch with someone who has one I’d be incredibly grateful. I attended hard summer back in 2021 and I bought the static 5 panel hat they were selling. I believe they also sold it at had summer 2022. It became my favorite hat of all time and I unfortunately lost it last year through a series of tragic events. If anyone has one that they don’t wear or have any sentimental value in or like would be willing to part with I’d be totally willing to purchase it off of them or do whatever necessary to obtain one.

Not talking about lineups, sound, or organizers — more like: stuff you're carrying, keeping track of your group, physical comfort over a long day. What's never been solved for you?

After hearing nine inch noize, I’m so pumped to see what’ll come out of the b2b with b3k 🔥

i know the festival itself is a few months away but this is my first rave and i really don't know what to fully expect. i live about an hour-ish from hollywood park and i know how bad the traffic gets in the inglewood area when there are events. i would assume that the lines to actually get in would take anywhere from 1-3 hours and then the traffic to the event would most likely mean i should set aside 2 hours for actually getting there.

since i have the 2 day pass would it just be smarter to get an airbnb/hotel near hollywood park? am i overestimating or underestimating how long the lines will be? i just don't wanna wake up at 6am for a festival starting at 2 lol.

finally answered who b3k is going b2b with…. assuming boys noize lolllls

Hi all! A simple gold necklace lace with an S Shaped clasp. Yeah .. it’s super sentimental as it belonged to my mom . I gave it to my son on his 18th birthday . He was so touched . He loved it . However, it was lost in August at hard summer in 2024. He is so regretful. I have posted b4. Had an urge to post again . Just know I know it will turn up . Holding hope .. hard..

Hey guys, I’m from the Bay Area and I’m considering solo’ing this year. The last time I went was 2024, but I had a group that time.

I’m looking to get a cheap motel somewhere within 10 miles of the venue, hopefully using public transport? How bad of an idea is that?? I’m feeling like a full send……..

Hi, I'm considering buying a Lunchbox hydration pack as I've been raving more and I'm going to 3 festivals this summer. $150 is my budget . I have an existing clear backpack i've used the last two years but it's a lil small and I'm down to get something different.

https://www.hardsummer.com/info/# Reading the info page it states "Hydration packs (empty upon entry), i.e. Camelbak bag or something similar, with no more than two main compartments and one smaller compartment"

So if it has to be empty upon entry, are people bringing their stuff in a ziploc bag and then transitioning it over into the hydration pack afterwards? I don't want to buy a clear lunchbox. I want to buy a black one.

I keep watching the tiers go up but im wondering if pasquale is doing it just for FOMO, do we think tix prices will go down as it gets closer to the event or should i just cop now 😭

also has anyone had success in past yrs buying resale at lower prices? 300 for hard summer w non plur crowds is kinda steep 🫩

do they still do wristbands for two days? Or is it QR code now? Trying to see if I can days with my friend

Really wanna go but don’t know anyone who would go with me. I’d be willing to go alone, but was wondering what’s the crowd like. Is it just a majority normies. (Frat bros & sorority girls) or is it actual festival vibes where some people are genuinely there because they like the music ??

I can’t stand the drunken frat bro crowd it irks my soul.

Edit: wow what you guys are telling me is pretty unfortunate because they have a pretty good lineup this year.

I was wondering how the girlies keep their makeup on throughout the heat 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️😞😞💞

Pls lemme know how!! Everytime I go to raves, they always end up getting patchy/lifting with streaks coz of the sweating and heat :(

First time hard summer!! What’s the best way to sneak in alcohol for both girls and guys??

I think I’m going to Hard Summer this year, it’s my first actual festival. Was wondering if anyone who’s been there before can give me an idea of cost in terms of like how much did you spend on food? Did they let you bring your own food in or you have to buy it there? Any other unexpected costs that I should prepare for as a newbie for besides the ticket, transportation, and hotel?
