iEDM's Official 2023 HARD Summer Music Festival Guide

With HARD Summer just around the corner, it is time to begin solidifying plans for the weekend to ensure the festival goes smoothly for all attending. Large festivals tend to have many moving parts, such as pre parties, after parties, transportation, parking, lineup schedules, multiple stages, and more.

Since the planning process can sometimes become overwhelming, iEDM has compiled a one-stop official guide to answer any questions ticket holders may have.
