Daft Punk, venue change drive HARD Haunted Mansion rumors
Do not be alarmed; the image at left boasts one very big and obvious falsity: French electronic music duo Daft Punk is not playing at this year’s HARD Haunted Mansion event, happening at the Shrine over Halloween weekend in downtown Los Angeles (although according to actress Olivia Wilde, the duo will make a cameo appearance in the movie “Tron Legacy,” for which they’re also crafting the soundtrack).
Upon closer inspection, the flier also states that the event is happening at a location called “The Hudson.”
This ambitious forgery is just one of many rumors swirling around the Internet regarding the dance music event, including claims of a location change to San Bernardino and that the show is already sold out.
The popular HARD series of dance events garnered a whirlwind of notoriety after HARD Summer 2009 at the Forum was canceled as a result of raucous fans crashing the main floor area.
“HARD Haunted Mansion will take place Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31 at the Shrine as planned,” insists promoter Gary Richards via e-mail. “There are many rumors flying around that are false. All correct and up to date information and links to purchase tickets are available at www.hardfest.com.”

this article is just one large FAIL.
HARD just had a little bad luck and needed to be slapped in the face, THIS IS HOW YOU THROW A LEGIT MUSIC EVENT. Call it whatever you want, a rave, a concert, a music festival. it's all of the above, and that's why THIS ONE CAN'T FAIL!
