Seismic Dance Event has rolled out its Phase Two lineup for the 9.0 edition, adding another round of names to an already stacked bill ahead of its return to The Concourse Project in Austin from November 13-15. The new additions lean into the harder, faster, and more groove-driven corners of the festival’s sound, bringing in everyone from techno veterans to rising club talent.

Leading the pack is German techno mainstay Chris Liebing, a name that needs little introduction to anyone who’s followed the genre’s evolution over the past three decades. He’s joined by Lisbon-based ØTTA, who brings her blend of trance and groove to the festival with her own dedicated Hotties x ØTTA stage takeover. Maddix also returns to the bill, continuing his run of high-energy sets that fuse techno and trance into something built for peak-time festival crowds. Rounding out the darker end of the announcement is Marie Vaunt, who pairs ethereal vocals with searing acid lines.

The Phase Two reveal also introduces some newer faces to Seismic’s audience. UK producer Marco Strous brings a groove-focused approach, while Berlin’s Frederic. and Austin’s own Jenna Shaw add local and international flavor to the bill. Brooklyn-born DJ Oza rounds out this group with a genre-fluid style that’s earned her a reputation as one of dance music’s more unpredictable selectors.

Also joining the lineup are fast-rising UK producer Paige Tomlinson, techno trailblazer SPFDJ, and STÜM, whose sets balance chaos with a playful streak that’s made her a favorite on the underground circuit. Cuban-Spanish DJ Toccororo, high-energy duo Twofaced, and Brazilian house producer Volkoder close out the additions, reflecting the festival’s ongoing push toward a more global bill.

Beyond individual bookings, Seismic is also expanding its stage takeover programming for 9.0. Alongside ØTTA’s Hotties takeover, the festival will host Next Gen House, a showcase blending tech-house, deep-house, and raw rave energy, and Technobus, which brings its mobile rave concept to the festival grounds. Each takeover is designed to carve out its own pocket of sound and atmosphere across the weekend rather than blending into the main stage programming.

These additions build on a Phase One lineup that already included Above & Beyond, Porter Robinson, Sara Landry, SG Lewis, Brutalismus 3000, Chris Lorenzo, Max Styler, Layton Giordani, KI/KI, horsegiirL, and VTSS, among others.

Seismic Dance Event has called The Concourse Project home since the venue opened its doors in 2021, with both the festival and venue run by Austin-based RealMusic Events. The independently operated space has grown into one of the anchors of Austin’s electronic music scene, combining a sprawling indoor-outdoor layout with production that’s earned it a spot on DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs list — currently sitting at #3 in the U.S. and #31 worldwide.

The festival runs across three stages, each built around a different sonic lens. The indoor Volcano stage and outdoor Tsunami stage cover house and techno, while the Frequency stage digs into hard groove, UKG, and Berlin-leaning sounds. The weekend also carries into late-night afterparties inside the venue’s main room, keeping the festival’s energy going in a smaller club setting once the main stages wrap for the night.

Tickets for Seismic Dance Event 9.0 are on sale now, with 3-day GA passes, single-day tickets, and VIP options available through the festival’s official website.
