Seismic Dance Event has officially unveiled the phase one lineup for its highly anticipated 9.0 edition. The festival is set to return to Austin’s premier venue, The Concourse Project, from November 13-15, 2026, continuing its legacy as the South’s leading destination for house and techno enthusiasts.
The initial artist announcement highlights the festival’s commitment to balancing global superstars with the underground scene’s most exciting voices. Headlining the 9.0 edition is the pioneering electronic trio Above & Beyond, alongside the viral sensation horsegiirl and Austin’s own hard techno powerhouse, Sara Landry. The top-tier billing is further bolstered by the genre-defying Porter Robinson, the Amsterdam-based talent KI/KI, and the versatile UK producer SG Lewis.
The festival continues to expand its reach with a diverse array of sounds, featuring bass-house tastemaker Chris Lorenzo, house music heavyweight Max Styler, and the driving melodic techno of Layton Giordani. These additions reinforce the event’s reputation for curating a comprehensive electronic music experience.
Beyond the headliners, the lineup digs deep into the future of underground dance music. The bill includes UK garage innovators such as MPH, Notion, and Smokey Bubblin’ B, alongside the industrial intensity of Brutalismus 3000 and the high-speed precision of VTSS. International representation is strong, with artists like Luke Alessi, Devault, HNTR, Kyle Starkey, Adam Sellouk, and 1TBSP bringing global perspectives to the Austin stage.
Seismic Dance Event has carved out a unique space in the festival landscape by prioritizing immersive production and an intimate, community-focused atmosphere. By eschewing the typical large-scale festival tropes in favor of a dedicated focus on house and techno, the event has fostered a loyal following that continues to grow with each edition.
Tickets for the 9.0 edition are currently available, with options ranging from 3-day GA passes to premium VIP experiences. As the festival approaches, fans can expect further announcements regarding the full schedule and additional programming.
