HARD has just released the stages for this year’s Day of the Dead taking place at the LA Sate Historic Park, November 2nd – 3rd.

From the looks of it, HARD has set up the stages pretty much the exact same as last year’s event, with the addition of the Underground stage which was birthed from this year’s HARD Summer.

As always there will have to be some pretty tough decisions made by concert goers, as the stages are all pretty equally stacked, depending on what type of genre you’re more interested in.

Check back soon for set times and more!

In all reality though, there really isn’t much Richards aka Destructo could have done to make the schedule any easier for die-hard EDM fans. To be completely honest, I’m actually glad the schedule is so tough. In years past, and I think many can agree, I’ve made my schedule decisions in advance and stuck to them without hesitation, leading me to miss some incredible new artists. Now, I’ve decided to completely abandon the my strict scheduling and go with the flow.

Since the schedule has been released, we here at JNTM have put together a list of a few must-see acts, scheduling surprises, and acts to pass for your viewing pleasure:

HARD Summer 2013 Must-See Acts

DJ Green Lantern: One of the more underground DJ’s to be playing HARD Summer this year, DJ Green Lantern was the official DJ for Shady Records and has been featured on multiple mixtapes. He is sure to blow audiences away with live scratching and incredible mixing.

TNGHT: One of the best duos in EDM right now, TNGHT has taken the Trap scene to extreme levels. You won’t want to miss these two since they’ve only recently started performing together live.

Cashmere Cat: 25 year-old Norwegian DJ Magnus August Høiberg is a must-see at this year’s HARD Summer because of his genre-bending style and incredible remixes. Since 2007 Cashmere Cat has been climbing the ladder so you’ll definitely want to catch him while he’s on his way up!

Dog Blood: Boys Noize and Skrillex. Need I say more? Check out their Coachella set and you’ll see why these two are a must-see this year.

Claude VonStroke: Founder of Dirtybird Records, Claude Vonstroke has been well known in the underground Deep House movement seemingly since the start of the genre itself. Playing for 2 hours this summer, you’ll want to see every minute for the most booty shaking experience at HARD.

Hard Summer 2013 Scheduling Surprises

Bauuer: Headlining the Harder stage and closing out the entire festival, Baauer is a shocker because he has been having such early set times at festivals like HARD Day of the Dead 2012 and Coachella 2013. The only thing that leads one to believe his set time: Harlem Shake.

Tommy Trash: Another DJ playing a bit too early, Tommy Trash is a household name these days and could easily be playing at a time like Kill the Noise or Alex Metric…

Brodinski: 4PM seems a little early for a DJ that’s been selling out places like the Boiler Room and other festivals around the world. Given the stage he’s on, his competition is a little steep, however.

Hard Summer 2013 Acts to Pass

Bassnectar: How Bassnectar is headlining the Hard Stage on Sunday night is more than a little shocking. Yes, he has an incredible live light/video show, but since the release of his newest album, the DJ is pretty much a “push play” performer.

Azealia Banks: When your options are Gesaffelstein or Breakbot, you definitely pass on Azelia Banks. Plus, she’s been getting in tons of trouble because of her recent arguments with DJ’s like Baauer and Diplo after she stole their music to sing on. Seriously.

Flux Pavilion: As a Flux fan I hate to say it, but with such a stacked lineup this year Flux Pavilion is an act to pass. Competing with the end (and most likely best part) of Dog Blood’s set, and Deep House up-and-comer Julio Basmore’s set, it’s advised to skip out on a DJ of the dying dubstep.

Fall Out Boy: crying boys for angsting girls

Despite fangirls crowding the venue at 8 a.m. and the line stretching completely over the Tempe Town Lake bridge in the blistering heat, I must say that the band I used to accurately depict my teenage angst is still alive and kicking at the same middle-finger ferocity it had when I saw Fall Out Boy seven years ago, touring with From First To Last, Hawthorne Heights, and All-American Rejects.

Since then, the lead singer of Hawthorne Heights had passed on, Sonny Moore moved on from From First To Last to Skrillex, and when All-American Rejects played on my campus last year, you could tell the lead singer was tweaking on something so dramatically I felt my childhood memories shatter. However, I was surprisingly refreshed by Fall Out Boy. It had been a while, indeed.

Originally, Fall Out Boy was generally considered ‘pop-punk’; however, with the changing times the band found itself changing as well, catering to the hip hop scene in later albums. The crowd was essentially all ages; I saw people as old as my 57 year-old-father to eight-year-old cousin. I can imagine this scene may have irritated some fans, but I personally was excited to be a part of such a fanbase that extended far beyond current trends or pure nostalgia. And seeing New Politics open for them was especially rad, considering the extent of my knowledge about the band from Denmark is their presence on Spotify.

I’ll be honest with you: I haven’t listened to a Fall Out Boy album completely since Take This To Your Grave and From Under the Cork Tree. Not for any particular reason aside from just getting into other bands– but I was a little anxious they’d forget about their older hits and mostly propagate their newest album, Save Rock and Roll.  I wasn’t especially wrong with that worry– but the their performance made up for not knowing their newest hits by radiating energy and enthusiasm with every note played. Each musician sounded as great as they had in the past. While the sound sometimes shifts, they still possessed the same sound that brought them to fame originally.

The crowd, though, was significantly more crazy than I had expected– I mean, it’s Fall Out Boy-– but before I could blink I found myself submerged and unequipped within a surprisingly legitimate mosh pit of angry teenage boys. After I participated with them in their shoving activities I was able to convince one of them to let me crowd-surf for their first older hit of the night– Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things to Do Today. And naturally, Fall Out Boy continued to play a few more singles from their first two albums and it was incredibly righteous in all senses of the word.

The whole experience was very reminiscent of my thirteen year old self hearing Pete Wentz call out to those in the nosebleed seating in the arena “Come down to the floor!”, where I sprinted with my cumbersome DVSes only to be lifted over the railing by a security guard safely to the general admission area. Attending the Save Rock and Roll concert really reminded me what I loved about Fall Out Boy. And that is– even if you’re not a fan– a sort of unique charisma they possess, the idea that these are actually just the rebellious kids living next door, bitter about your hot neighbor cheating on either one of them with the paperboy.

Since roughly 2011, Zeds Dead has been considered one of the top EDM artists of the new wave of electronic music after their release of their first official single, “Rudeboy,” which has ended up in mixes and live sets of countless other DJ’s. In 2004 they released “Rumble in the Jungle” on EDM mogul Diplo’s Mad Decent, which went to the top spot on Beatport’s breakbeat chart.

Zeds Dead has been touring since late 2010 across the UK and the US and have had support from acts like AraabMUZIK, XI and Knight Riderz. They’ve had countless performances at festivals like HARD Summer, Coachella, Lolllapalooza Chile, and even shared the stage with Kid Rock and Garth Brooks during a performance in Afghanistan.

Phish has officially announced the dates for their summer 2013 tour. With only 25 cities on the list, one of the most iconic jam bands since The Grateful Dead will once again return to the road to bring their spectacle of a show to the US.
