Inglewood, CA –Following numerous noise complaints resulting from last weekend's Hard Summer techno-music festival held outside SoFi Stadium, the Inglewood Mayor has announced that music performance stages will no longer be allowed on the venue's elevated Plaza.
Mayor Butts addressed concerns from residents about the excessive noise levels that polluted the community during the festival. "We take the well-being of our residents seriously," the mayor stated. "After reviewing the disturbances caused by the elevated stage placement, we have decided that for future events, music stages will not be permitted on the Plaza."
Residents living near SoFi Stadium had voiced their frustrations over the weekend, citing late-night disruptions that could be heard throughout the neighborhood.
The decision aims to strike a balance between hosting large-scale events at the stadium and maintaining a peaceful environment for Inglewood's residents.
In response to the announcement, event organizers and venue managers are working to explore alternate configurations for future festivals and concerts to ensure a positive experience for both attendees and the local community.
