Hard Love Reopens After Community Rescue

Hard Love, Jacksonville’s beloved hardcore music venue, is back—and it’s throwing a wild one-year anniversary bash to celebrate. After a month-long shutdown due to permitting issues, the community rallied with a GoFundMe that raised nearly $20K to keep the doors open. Owner Josh Card worked tirelessly to bring the space up to code, and now, on Saturday, June 27, fans can once again experience the raw energy of hardcore punk, complete with bands, vendors, tattoo artists, and food. This isn’t just a reopening—it’s a victory for a resilient local scene and proof of how powerful community support can be. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
