After rumours spread across the internet last week hinting that global electronic music festival Tomorrowland was coming Down Under, organisers have now confirmed the CORE stage will make its debut late next year.
Over the years, the CORE stage has evolved into its own distinct identity within the Tomorrowland setup, with the stage heading to Australia following two successful events in Medellín, Colombia.
Along with the Australian date on Saturday 28 November 2026, CORE will return to Medellín in Febraury and make its first appearance in Los Angeles in May.
While no lineup has been announced, tickets for CORE are sure to be snapped up super quickly when they go on sale, so your best bet to have a chance of scoring tickets is by signing up to the mailing list here.

“We are thrilled to bring the iconic CORE stage to Australia,” WEAREONE.world spokesperson Debby Wilmsen said in a statement.
“As one of the signature experiences of Tomorrowland, CORE represents the essence of our music, art, and stage design. We look forward to sharing this unique atmosphere with fans in Australia and around the world.”
