Hard Summer Sunday: Brodinski, Gesaffelstein, Dillon Francis, and Dirtybird highlight superlative closing day
Hordes of Los Angelenos returned for the second and final day of HARD Summer 2013 -- ready for another twelve hours of frolicking in cool tents, woodchipped stage grounds, and dusty lawns areas of the Los Angeles State Historic Park. For diehard fans of Ed Banger Records and Dirtybird, the two labels owned their own stages on Sunday (on the Summer Stage and Underground Tent, respectively). Bromance fiends got sets from both Brodinski and Gessafelstein, and those prone towards the "HARDer" sounds soaked in the grinding basslines of Flosstradamus, Dillon Francis, Baauer, and Clockwork.

HARD Summer 2013 announces its lineup, may contain puppies
Using the power of puppies to announce its lineup, HARD Summer unveils a star-studded lineup perfectly suited for the Los Angeles scene. With entire stages dedicated to Ed Banger and Dirtybird there is no shortage of envelope-pushing artists here; throw in some of the biggest names in their respective genres; Knife Party, Bassnectar, Baauer and more and you've got one of the most impressively curated lineups we've seen this festival season. Always tastemakers in the industry, HARD Summer continues its dedication to emerging talents with TNGHT, Oliver, Bondax, and Keys N' Krates all penciled in to perform. Have you ever wondered what Alvin Risk would look like if he were a canine? Or what type of dog Dillon Francis would be if he could lick himself? HARD Summer has all the answers.
