Seismic Dance Event has dropped the phase one lineup for its 9.0 edition, returning to Austin’s The Concourse Project from November 13-15, 2026. The South’s premier house and techno festival continues its tradition of bringing together boundary-pushing artists and the underground community for a weekend of forward-thinking dance music.
The phase one lineup showcases the festival’s signature blend of global heavyweights, underground innovators, and rising talent. Leading the charge is pioneering electronic trio Above & Beyond, viral masked sensation horsegiirl, and hometown hard techno powerhouse Sara Landry, who’s become one of Austin’s most celebrated exports in recent years. Genre-defying crossover artist Porter Robinson, Amsterdam sensation KI/KI, and versatile UK producer SG Lewis round out the top-tier billing.
The lineup expands with bass-house tastemaker Chris Lorenzo, house music heavyweight Max Styler, and melodic techno force Layton Giordani bringing their signature sounds to Austin. Each represents a different corner of the electronic spectrum that Seismic has become known for championing.
The deeper lineup reflects Seismic’s commitment to showcasing artists shaping the future of underground dance music. UK garage talents MPH, Notion, Diffrent, and Smokey Bubblin’ B represent the scene’s current wave, while industrial techno duo Brutalismus 3000 and hard-speed selector VTSS bring the harder edge. Australian house riser Luke Alessi, genre-blurring producer Devault, Canadian club force HNTR, UK underground favorite Kyle Starkey, melodic techno artist Adam Sellouk, and Australian lo-fi house project 1TBSP add international flavor to the weekend.
Further depth comes from rising acts spanning the global electronic spectrum including Latin house sensation BOLO, breakout producer Kamino, production savant Brunello, dancefloor-driven pairing Cole Knight b2b Dreya V, emerging club talent Welker, underground talents Benwal and Joss Dean, Texas-based selector Conrad Taylor, Spanish duo Mestiza, genre-blending act Fallon, melodic favorite Hills, and intergalactic electronic project Starjunk 95.
Seismic distinguishes itself through its immersive production, intimate atmosphere, and uncompromising focus on house and techno, offering a more community-driven alternative to traditional large-scale festival experiences. This approach has cultivated a deeply loyal fanbase that returns year after year.
With world-class artist programming, elevated production values, and a passionate fanbase, Seismic Dance Event has cemented its place as a must-attend fixture on the international dance music calendar. Tickets are now available on the official Seismic Dance Event website, with options for 3-day GA passes and VIP experiences.
