Gary Richards's electronic music promotion company Hard Events, which runs the Hard Festival, has announced a new single-day touring concert across North America this year. Titled the "Go Hard" tour, the five-city endeavor will bring 25 artists, including Eric Prydz, Porter Robinson, Dillon Francis and RL Grime to Dallas, Seattle, Miami, Toronto and New Orleans.
In addition to the aforementioned big draws, there will be some hip-hop artists like Rae Sremmurd and A$AP Ferg at a few dates, while the rest is a smattering of different electronic acts like Big Gigantic, Tchami, Jauz, Tokimonsta and Richards as himself as Destructo.
Richard spoke to Billboard two weeks ago about his plans to build out the Hard brand across North America.
"We're working on a tour for the early summer called the Go Hard tour and we'll probably do six, eight markets that we've never really done on a big scale and start building there," he said.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Feb. 27, at 10 a.m. local time except in Dallas, where they will be sold at noon local time.
