Los Angeles – Antwerp | From Tomorrowland to the creative pulse of Los Angeles: CORE is coming to California for the very first time. On Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3, 2026, the iconic CORE experience will make its long-awaited US debut with a festival in collaboration with Insomniac, the global dance music experience curator. Following their spectacular collaboration on the UNITY shows at Sphere in Las Vegas, Tomorrowland and Insomniac once again join forces to create a world-class festival experience where music and storytelling merge into a single, living universe. Tickets for CORE Los Angeles go on pre-sale on January 29 via core.world, with general on-sale starting January 30.

Originally born as one of Tomorrowland’s most beloved stages, CORE has evolved into a global brand and standalone universe with a distinctive musical identity. Renowned for its iconic face-shaped stage design, CORE transports audiences into a mythical world driven by alternative house music, refined soundscapes, and cutting-edge visuals, a place where music is felt as much as it is heard.

For its first-ever US edition, CORE Los Angeles presents a bold and forward-thinking line-up that reflects the brand’s curatorial depth: from influential pioneers to boundary-pushing contemporary artists, each bringing their own interpretation of emotion and atmosphere.
