Chris Liebing, Maddix, ØTTA and SPFDJ join the Austin festival, with two curated Frequency takeovers giving ticket buyers a clearer reason to compare Saturday and Sunday.
Seismic Dance Event 9.0 has added Chris Liebing, Maddix, ØTTA, SPFDJ and ten further acts for its November 13 to 15, 2026 return to The Concourse Project in Austin. The added names take the bill further into techno, trance and faster club music, and the announcement also gives Frequency a specific identity across the weekend.
Hotties x ØTTA will take over Frequency on Saturday, November 14. Next Gen House will run the stage on Sunday, November 15. Technobus also returns for the full weekend, giving Seismic another programming idea outside its fixed stages.

The new names join Above & Beyond, Porter Robinson, Sara Landry, Brutalismus 3000, Chris Lorenzo, Max Styler, SG Lewis, Layton Giordani, KI/KI, horsegiirL and VTSS near the top of the 9.0 lineup. That first wave gave Seismic plenty of scale. Phase two now tells attendees far more about how the weekend will be divided once they are inside the venue.
What Seismic Dance Event 9.0 Phase Two Adds
The second phase contains 14 additions: Chris Liebing, Frederic., Jenna Shaw, Maddix, Marco Strous, Marie Vaunt, ØTTA, Oza, Paige Tomlinson, SPFDJ, STÜM, Toccororo, Twofaced and Volkoder.
Chris Liebing gives the second wave a veteran techno presence. Maddix brings his techno and trance crossover, and Marie Vaunt adds dark vocals alongside acid-led production. SPFDJ and ØTTA point toward the faster club material that has become increasingly prominent on festival bills.
The house side is represented by Marco Strous, Paige Tomlinson and Volkoder. Frederic., Austin producer Jenna Shaw, Oza, STÜM, Toccororo and Twofaced complete the additions, taking the lineup beyond one narrow reading of contemporary techno.
Why Frequency Is the Phase Two Story
The artist additions matter, though Frequency is where this announcement becomes easier to read as a festival plan. Hotties x ØTTA occupies Saturday, November 14, with ØTTA leading a dedicated takeover. Next Gen House controls Sunday, November 15, focusing on speed garage and hard house, with speed house included in the same program.
Technobus returns across all three days. Its mobile rave format adds another place for attendees to find music outside Volcano, Tsunami and Frequency.
Volcano is the indoor stage and Tsunami is outdoors, with each covering house and techno. Frequency has a narrower club focus that includes hard groove, UK garage and Berlin-influenced selections. Giving Saturday and Sunday to named curators makes that distinction easier to understand before set times are published.
In my event coverage, the announcements that hold up best tend to tell readers how each area differs. Seismic now does that with Frequency. For people choosing a single-day ticket, the Saturday Hotties x ØTTA takeover and Sunday Next Gen House program are already concrete points of comparison.
