Seismic Dance Event has unveiled the next wave of programming for its highly-anticipated 9.0 edition, returning to The Concourse Project in Austin from November 13-15.
The Phase Two reveal brings a new slate of global talent to the lineup alongside a standout series of dedicated stage takeovers, expanding the sounds and curatorial perspectives set to shape this year’s festival. The anticipation builds as electronic music lovers eagerly await what the festival has in store.
This year’s Phase Two announcement pushes further into the harder, faster, and more groove-driven edges of Seismic‘s sonic identity. Among the notable artists featured are German techno mainstay Chris Liebing and Lisbon-based talent ØTTA, who will take center stage with her signature blend of trance and groove.
Adding to the high-energy momentum is Maddix, known for his fusion of techno and trance elements that keep the audience entranced, while Marie Vaunt adds a mystical touch with dark, ethereal vocals paired with searing acid lines. The lineup reflects a thoughtful curatorial approach that blends established and emerging talent.
The new wave of artists also introduces fast-rising UK producer Paige Tomlinson and high-energy techno trailblazer SPFDJ, whose performances promise to be electrifying. STÜM and rising Cuban-Spanish DJ Toccororo will add further diversity to the festival, all while high-energy dance duo Twofaced and Brazilian house producer Volkoder showcase their unique sounds.
The Seismic experience doesn’t rest on the shoulders of individual artists alone; dedicated stage takeovers are set to enrich the weekend. Alongside ØTTA’s Hotties takeover, emerging themes like Next Gen House will merge tech-house, deep-house, and raw rave energy, while the Technobus brings a signature mobile rave experience right to the festival grounds. Each takeover aims to provide distinct atmospheres and programming, creating new pockets of energy across the festival.
The Phase One lineup remains formidable, featuring internationally acclaimed talent like Above & Beyond, Porter Robinson, Sara Landry, SG Lewis, Brutalismus 3000, Chris Lorenzo, Max Styler, Layton Giordani, KI/KI, horsegiirL, Maddix, and VTSS. This combination of established acts and rising stars ensures that the festival will be a vibrant celebration of electronic music.
