HARD got a bit too hard this summer, causing a shutdown before the crowd really got to lose their minds. Perhaps the cooler October weather will calm things down so we can get through the entire two day festival HARD’s cooked up to celebrate Halloween. The line-up goes all over the dance board with Justice, Basement Jaxx, Deadmau5, 2ManyDJs, Crookers, A-Trak, The Bloody Beetroots, Modeselektor, Major Lazer, Buraka Som Sistema, Zombie Nation, Steve Aoki, Destructo, Don Rimini, Shinichi Osawa and more (see full line up). Should be a freakishly (or ghoulishly) good time.
