Back for its third edition in 2015, Austria’s Electric Love Festival may be one of the world’s youngest festivals, but it has already boasted huge lineups in the past featuring Afrojack, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, and many more. The festival’s motto last year was “#makeitbig,” and now they have transitioned to a new motto for 2015 — “#thenextstep” — with the event owners promising an improvement on the overall quality of the festival. Today, Electric Love has announced the first phase of a 4-part lineup of acts that will be taking over Salzburgring, Austria from July 9-11.

Revealing the names of the first wave of acts through an electrifying announcement video, fans can expect to enjoy live performances from some of EDM’s finest, including Tiesto, Showtek, Alesso, Oliver Heldens, Chase & Status, Knife Party, Don Diablo, and Yves V. In addition, Electric Love has announced that besides the main stage, they will be hosting their own Q-dance stage with hardstyle heavyweights Coone, Brennan Hart, Zatox, and Code Black. With a phase 1 this massive, we’ll be on the edge of our seats waiting for the next three from Electric Love Festival.
