Citing security concerns, HARD L.A. canceled<\/h1>\n

In the wake of a\u00a0teenager’s death at the Electric Daisy Carnival last month, the electronic-centric HARD L.A. concert at downtown’s Los Angeles State Historic Park has been canceled due to security concerns.<\/p>\n

James Valdez, a state park ranger and the lead coordinator for events in the Los Angeles sector who was overseeing Hard L.A., confirmed that the July 17 date is no longer\u00a0happening. Valdez said the Aug. 7 Hard event, also set for the park, was still planned as of this morning. \u201cFrom what I hear, yes,\u201d Valdez said when asked if the Aug. 7 was scheduled to go off.<\/p>\n

Valdez said he received an e-mail from Gary Richards, the festival’s promoter, that stated the July 17 date was \u201cpostponed,\u201d but he had no further information.<\/p>\n

Documents from sources connected to a number of the acts scheduled to perform at the July 17 concert indicate that\u00a0the promoters behind HARD L.A. have canceled the show\u00a0in light of the new scrutiny and logistics demanded of large-scale electronic music concerts in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The annual festival this year\u00a0was to feature acts including M.I.A., Die Antwoord, Flying Lotus, Sleigh Bells and others.<\/p>\n
