Seismic Dance Event 9.0 Adds Chris Liebing, Maddix and SPFDJ in Austin

Austin’s biggest club-culture weekend just got a lot heavier. Seismic Dance Event 9.0 — November 13-15, 2026 at The Concourse Project in Austin, Texas — dropped its phase two lineup on Friday, and the additions lean hard into the festival’s techno backbone: Chris Liebing and Maddix now top a batch of more than a dozen new names.

The rest of the phase two class is a nice mix of hard-hitters and left-field picks: SPFDJ, ØTTA, Marie Vaunt, Marco Strous, Frederic., DJ Oza, Paige Tomlinson, STÜM, Toccororo, Twofaced and Volkoder all join the bill, according to the announcement. There’s some fun programming baked in too — a “Hotties x ØTTA” stage takeover, a speed garage takeover and a Next Gen House showcase are all on the menu across the festival’s three stages: Volcano, Tsunami and Frequency.

If you haven’t been keeping up, phase one already made this one of the most interesting bookings in Texas this year. Above & Beyond, a Porter Robinson DJ set, Sara Landry, SG Lewis, Brutalismus 3000, Chris Lorenzo, Layton Giordani, KI/KI, VTSS and horsegiirL were all announced back in May, along with Max Styler, whose “Body Shake” spent part of August in the Beatport top 10. Where else are you getting Above & Beyond and Brutalismus 3000 on the same weekend?

That range is kind of Seismic’s whole thing. The boutique festival has spent eight editions building The Concourse Project into a destination for touring house and techno heads who’d rather have three days of proper club programming than another main-stage marathon — and edition nine looks like its most stacked yet.

Tickets are on sale now through the festival’s website, with three-day GA, single-day and VIP options available. One heads-up for the budget-minded: the payment plan option closes September 15, so if you want to split it up, you’ve got about a week and a half.
