Tomorrowland Plans 2026 CORE Events in Melbourne, Los Angeles

Tomorrowland, one of the world's largest electronic music festivals, is set to debut its iconic CORE stage experience in Melbourne, Australia in November 2026, marking its first Australian event. This announcement was subtly revealed via a world map installation at the 2025 Belgian festival, which also indicated a May 2026 event in Los Angeles, continuing the festival's international expansion following recent editions in Colombia and the U.S. The CORE stage, known for its immersive jungle-themed design and focus on house and techno music, has grown into a standalone brand within Tomorrowland, having appeared in locations such as Brazil, Tulum, and Medellín. Despite the excitement, specific details regarding tickets, lineups, and venues for these new events remain undisclosed, with the festival organizers maintaining official silence. The 2025 Tomorrowland edition overcame a major setback when a fire destroyed its main stage, a disaster mitigated at the last minute by Metallica providing replacement stage parts, underscoring the festival's resilience and strong community support. Melbourne's selection as a host city reflects the growing significance of the Asia-Pacific market for electronic dance music and positions the city as a potential regional hub for the festival brand.
