One of Austria's largest music festivals, Electric Love, has announced the first wave of artists who will be headed to Salzburg in July. Tiësto, Alesso and Oliver Heldens will lead the first batch of DJs with many more also performing. In its third edition, the festival has managed to assert itself in the crowded European festival market with a variety of different styles and genres including drum n' bass, electro, hardstyle and progressive house.

The festival will also play host to Knife Party, Chase & Status, Showtek, Don Diablo and Yves V. There will be a Q-dance stage on Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11, where the world's best hardstyle acts will perform with Coone, Brennan Hart, Zatox and Code Black already being announced for the stage. In addition to the main stage and Q-Dance stage, there will be another 3 stages still to be announced for this year's festival. The motto for 2015 is "#thenextstep" as the owners look to make improvements on last year notes Dancing Astronaut.

The festival is situated just outside of Austria's fourth largest city, Salzburg. It is nestled in the countryside on a race circuit with bountiful pastures that become converted to campgrounds just a stones throw away form the Salzburg Lake District. Electric Love will take place from July 9-11.

The festival in its past two years has already boasted lineups that have included acts like Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Steve Angello and many others.

Tickets are now on sale via the festival's website and watch the lineup trailer below.
