It's that time of year again...when the Pomona Fairplex becomes the most epic rave of the summer.

Five stages and nearly 100 acts over two days—it must be HARD Summer. Over the weekend, #HSMF2015 made its mark once again in the Pomona Fairplex. Usually the site of the LA County fair, the location traded good old-fashioned family fun to some turnt up, fire performances. But this event would be nothing without fans like these 15 ready-for-anything HARD AF fans cheering them on.
