Like an electro groundhog taking note of his Clash-loving, neon shadow, the first spotting of M.I.A.’s name on a festival bill usually signals the approach of summer. And this year that special festival is the bicoastal HARD LA/HARD NYC extravaganza featuring Ms. Arulpragasam and friends Rye Rye, Sleigh Bells, Theophilus London, and many more. M.I.A. will be premiering material from her new album, slated for release this summer. Both all-ages HARD outings promise two outdoor stages. Plus the NYC edition features ferry rides included in the price of admission! Nothing says summer magic like FERRY RIDES.
