Seismic Dance Event 9.0 Reveals Phase One Lineup with Above & Beyond, Sara Landry, Porter Robinson, KI/KI, horsegiirl, and more set for The Concourse Project in Austin

Seismic Dance Event has unveiled the phase one lineup for its upcoming 9.0 edition, returning to Austin’s The Concourse Project from November 13–15, 2026. The first lineup brings Above & Beyond, horsegiirl, KI/KI, Max Styler, Sara Landry, Porter Robinson, SG Lewis, Chris Lorenzo, Layton Giordani, Brutalismus 3000, VTSS, MPH, Notion, and more to one of the South’s key house and techno festivals. Across three days, Seismic Dance Event 9.0 will continue its focus on underground dance music, pairing established international names with newer club acts inside a venue closely tied to Austin’s electronic music scene

Seismic 9.0 Opens With Above & Beyond, Sara Landry, And Porter Robinson

The first wave of Seismic Dance Event 9.0 brings several clear directions into the same weekend, led by Above & Beyond, Sara Landry, Porter Robinson, KI/KI, horsegiirl, SG Lewis, Max Styler, Chris Lorenzo, and Layton Giordani. For a festival known for house and techno, this first announcement keeps that base in place while adding names that reach into melodic dance music, hard techno, UK-influenced house, and crossover electronic performance. Above & Beyond bring the long-running Anjunabeats connection, Sara Landry gives the lineup a hard techno pull with a direct link to Austin, and Porter Robinson adds one of the more unexpected bookings for a festival that usually stays close to underground dance music.

The wider lineup gives Seismic 9.0 more detail beyond the headliners, especially through artists who are active across house, techno, UK garage, bass house, and harder club sounds. KI/KI and VTSS bring faster techno and rave-focused sets, while horsegiirl adds one of the most talked-about names in current club music. On the house side, Chris Lorenzo, Max Styler, SG Lewis, MPH, Notion, Diffrent, and Smokey Bubblin’ B strengthen the UK and bass-house presence, while Layton Giordani, Adam Sellouk, Luke Alessi, HNTR, and 1TBSP add melodic, progressive, and groove-led styles across the weekend. This first announcement makes the direction of Seismic 9.0 easy to read: a house and techno festival still at its core, but with enough range to bring in major names, harder selectors, and newer acts gaining more attention internationally.

The Concourse Project Remains Central To Seismic’s Identity

Seismic Dance Event 9.0 returns to The Concourse Project, the Austin venue closely linked with the festival’s house and techno focus. The venue gives Seismic a setting that suits its format: large enough for full festival production, but still contained enough to keep the weekend connected to one place instead of spreading it across a traditional outdoor festival site. The press release highlights the venue’s hybrid indoor-outdoor layout, sound system, and festival-level production capabilities, while also noting its placement on DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs list, including No. 3 in the U.S. and No. 31 worldwide.

Across Volcano, Tsunami, and Frequency, Seismic can separate the weekend into distinct stage experiences without losing the close venue connection that has become part of its appeal. The indoor Volcano stage gives the festival a main-room setting for heavier production, the outdoor Tsunami stage keeps part of the weekend open-air, and Frequency adds another layer to the event’s layout for deeper cuts across the lineup. Once the scheduled festival hours end, the afterparties inside The Concourse Project’s main room extend the weekend without sending attendees across Austin to a separate club or warehouse. That structure is one reason the venue matters so much to Seismic 9.0: it allows the festival to operate like a full-scale event while still keeping the feel of a dedicated house and techno gathering tied to one address.
