CORE: Tomorrowland and Insomniac Debut New Festival in Los Angeles

Insomniac partners with Tomorrowland to deliver CORE’s first US edition at a landmark open‑air festival.

CORE, Tomorrowland’s beloved stage concept, will debut in Los Angeles on May 2-3, 2026. The festival, produced with Insomniac, marks CORE’s first US edition and promises a bold new chapter for the brand. Tickets go on pre‑sale January 29, with general sales starting January 30. Fans can expect immersive production, storytelling, and a lineup that blends pioneers with contemporary innovators.

CORE has already enchanted audiences in Colombia, Tulum, Brussels, and Tomorrowland Belgium. Its arrival in California underscores the brand’s global expansion and cultural influence.

CORE Los Angeles: Lineup Highlights and Artistic Vision

The CORE Los Angeles 2026 lineup reflects Tomorrowland’s curatorial depth. Headliners include Eric Prydz, Four Tet, Honey Dijon, and Nina Kraviz, each bringing distinctive energy. Consequently, the programming balances underground credibility with global star power.

Additional names such as ARTBAT, Kevin de Vries, Dixon, Mall Grab, and Krystal Klear expand the sonic palette. Moreover, live performances from Oscar and the Wolf and Mathew Jonson add diversity, ensuring audiences experience both electronic precision and emotive artistry.

Furthermore, CORE’s stage design remains central. Known for its face‑shaped structure, the production merges visuals with soundscapes, creating a mythical environment. Because of this, CORE is not just a festival stage but a universe where music and storytelling converge.

CORE Universe and Global Expansion

CORE Los Angeles is part of a broader 2026 calendar. The brand will also host editions in Medellín (February 20-21) and Melbourne (November 28). Consequently, CORE continues to evolve into a standalone global identity. Beyond festivals, CORE extends into CORE Records and CORE Radio Shows on One World Radio. These platforms showcase alternative house and techno, reinforcing the brand’s influence year‑round.

Tomorrowland’s partnership with Insomniac builds on their successful UNITY shows at Sphere Las Vegas. Together, they aim to deliver immersive experiences where sound, light, and narrative merge seamlessly.

To conclude, CORE Los Angeles 2026 represents a milestone for Tomorrowland’s expansion. With a lineup featuring Eric Prydz, Nina Kraviz, Honey Dijon, and Four Tet, the festival promises a transformative weekend in California.

By merging iconic stage design, curated programming, and Insomniac’s production expertise, CORE Los Angeles will redefine the city’s electronic music landscape. Fans should secure tickets early to be part of this historic debut.
