A 19-year-old man was pronounced dead on Sunday after attending HARD Summer Music Festival in California.

“It is with great sadness that we have learned a festival attendee has passed away following HARD Summer this weekend. We extend our deepest sympathies to the individual’s loved ones, and we ask that you keep them in your thoughts.

"The health and safety of those who attend our events is HARD’s utmost priority, and we take every measure to create a safe and enjoyable environment. We have no further information at this time, but we encourage the community to come together, support each other, and always look out for one another in light of this tragedy.”

Over 150,000 people attended HARD across Saturday and Sunday, which was hosted at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana and featured performances from Travis Scott, Diplo, Madam X and Kerri Chandler.
