The announcement follows rumours that surfaced in late July. Festival attendees at Tomorrowland Belgium spotted promotional materials suggesting the expansion.
A poster at the CORE stage featured a world map. The map showed markers for Melbourne in November 2026 and Los Angeles in May 2026.
CORE differs from the main Tomorrowland festival. It operates as a separate brand with its own identity and production scale.
The concept emerged from within Tomorrowland but now stands alone. CORE emphasises music curation and connection with natural environments.
Melbourne follows successful editions in Medellín, Colombia. The Australian event will run alongside the Los Angeles debut in 2026.
Local partnerships drive the Melbourne expansion. CORE has teamed with Framed and Pitch Control for the Australian launch.
The organisers describe CORE Melbourne as a unique festival experience. They promise to blend finest music with natural, enchanting settings.
Programming showcases various electronic subgenres. The lineup typically features international headliners, emerging talent and local artists.
CORE maintains focus on underground sounds. Alternative house and techno form the sonic foundation across all events.
Ticket information remains under wraps until early next year. Lineup details will accompany the ticketing announcement.
The Melbourne event adds to CORE’s growing global presence. Australia represents a key market expansion for the Belgian-founded brand.
Electronic music fans can expect authentic underground programming. CORE’s reputation centres on discovering and presenting cutting-edge sounds.
