Heres some infomation from NewZtrendZ.com and you can follow the Tweets
Here’s what we know, via Twitter. Not sure about the truth to @anhnguyen, who Tweeted: “Hard Summer got shutdown and tear gassed out.” Just swapped texts with LA Weekly photographer Timothy Norris, who’s processing photos. We’ll have them in the morning.
Most intriguing non-Tweeter right now is @destructohard, which is Hard founder Gary Richards feed: His final one of the night is this: “@destructohard: Underworld sound checking now.. Fuck yes @Hardfest #Hard.”

“Dear Los Angeles,
We are terribly sorry. Inglewood PD made the decision to shut down the event tonight much to our astonishment and yours. There are many questions to answer; rest assured you will not be left hanging. Please check back soon. The show must go on…”

“Only Busy P and Crystal Castles got a chance to perform while the confused crowd waited for Chromeo to come on. The safety concerns started when impatient atendees were breaking into the entrance to get into the venue due to long waits by the security check and inside the Forum from people not wanting to wait to get in line to get into the floor and jumping over the seats down into
the floor hurting themselves or others in the process.
The Fire Marshall got together with law enforcement backstage at
the event and decided that the crowd would be to hard to control once the music started again. The Hard Festival organizers mentioned on Twitter that they will be making it up to Los Angeles and more info will come soon concerning any reschedule or refunds. The Scenestar will update you concerning news regarding Hard Summer 2009 or if Underworld reschedules as we get it.
The venue was not right for
the event and
From NewzTrendz.com
“Making matters worse would appear to be the way the Hard Summer shut down took place. Instead of shutting the event down completely, music was cut off for two hours without explanation while Inglewood Police and the LAPD riot squad got into place outside the venue. Attendees were also blocked from leaving the venue during the two hours and were being arrested if they tried to leave.”
Come on police. Tell the kids SOMETHING.
