A Twitter search for "Hard Summer" has lots of tweets out there saying that the festival was shut down by the LAPD/Fire Marshall before midnight... Not sure if Underworld got a chance to play at all...

True bummer for LA SoCal fans...

Total fucking nightmare, right from the beginning.

- There was no order at all to the entrances, it was anarchy -- people climbing over walls and shit.

- Inside, nobody knew how to get down on the floor level. The staff were wall imbeciles, nobody could even tell you were the second stage was.

- Frustrated with the lack of access, some hooligans started jumping over the wall of the bleacher section and onto the floor.

- Fire marshall came in and caused some trouble, prompting the organizers to BEG people to sit down and back away from railings. Nearly everybody did but even 1.5 hours later the music still had not resumed.

- Riot police called in, rumors of a fatality.

- Finally, everybody noticed the sound guys packing up and Tweets and Texts from the outside said Underworld and Chromeo and the other artists had already left the building.

Total fucking FAIL.

My friends and I did the whole trek: Vegas, Oakland and back home to LA, and it was such a big deal to me to do this. I am crushed and furious. I'm embarrassed for my city.

Can't believe this show was shut down. I'm still sitting in my car in the parking lot, hoping to catch a glimpse of Rick or Karl.

I've read that on Twitter, also. But then again, it's Twitter. There's a lot of stuff flying around there.

I feel bad for the people here that made the trek.
