HARD Releases Hilarious Lineup Trailer with Dillon Francis

If you thought HARD Summer 2014 was huge, wait until you see who they have making the trip to SoCal this year. Announced in the same hilarious fashion that HARD released 2014’s lineup, for 2015 HARD brought the funniest DJ in EDM, Dillon Francis, to help create their official trailer.

HARD has never done a boring lineup reveal, and this one is no exception. Instead of just dropping a poster and calling it a day, they lean into full comedy-sketch mode every year, and having Dillon Francis front and center is basically the perfect casting call — the guy built half his brand on being ridiculous online, from the Moombahton jokes to the DJ Snake bits, so putting him in charge of hyping up the lineup practically writes itself.

All of the artists featured in the video, including Dillon Francis, Chromeo, Porter Robinson, and Jack Ü (unfortunately not Dillon and Porter’s Spoon Ü duo), will be at HARD Summer 2015. Among those artists, HARD is also bringing legendary artists The Chemical Brothers and Ratatat, as well as other big name artists so it is sure to be an even bigger and better year in August 2015.

That’s a genuinely broad lineup for a festival that a lot of people still think of as a strictly EDM event. The Chemical Brothers are practically the godfathers of electronic music as we know it, having been at it since the early ’90s, while Ratatat brings more of an indie-electronic, guitar-driven sound that you don’t see paired with Jack Ü and Dillon Francis very often. That’s kind of always been HARD’s thing though — since it started, the festival has leaned into mixing straight-up dance music with hip-hop, indie, and whatever else fits the bill, rather than sticking to one lane like a lot of other festivals do.

Check out the full massive lineup below and buy your tickets today for about $175 so you don’t miss the insane weekend!

With a lineup this stacked and a trailer this ridiculous already out the door back in April, expect HARD to keep the hype train rolling all the way through summer. If the marketing is already this fun, the actual weekend in August is going to be a whole other level.
