Advance Notice. M.I.A. and HARD Summer L.A.

It just ain't summer without a great outdoors concert, and thanks to HARD, this summer is shaping up to a darn good one.

Not only will the electro fest specialists be bringing back HARD Summer L.A. with Soulwax, Crystal Castles and Diplo to headline on August 7, but it is also bringing us the return of the one and only M.I.A., who's lately only been teasing us with mysterious digitalized videos of beatastic songs. M.I.A. is set to perform on July 17 at the L.A. State Historic Park, which is also the site for HARD Summer L.A.

Tickets for both HARD shows will be going on sale tomorrow at noon (click here for M.I.A. and here for HARD Summer L.A.), so get those credit cards ready. Capacity for the park is 25,000, but they'll surely be popular--don't want to miss out on a good summer, after all.
