Tomorrowland, the world-renowned electronic music festival, has officially announced that its acclaimed CORE experience will make its Australian debut in 2026, marking a historic milestone for the country’s dance music scene.
For the first time ever, Tomorrowland will bring its immersive CORE concept to Australian soil, blending world-class electronic music, nature-inspired stage architecture, and the cinematic storytelling that has made the Belgian festival a global phenomenon.
What is CORE?
CORE is one of Tomorrowland’s most distinctive concepts, celebrated for its deeper, organic, and atmospheric soundscape. Unlike the festival’s high-energy mainstage productions, CORE focuses on melodic techno, progressive house, and emotionally driven electronic music, set within a visually stunning environment inspired by nature, mysticism, and ancient symbolism.
The CORE stage has previously captivated audiences in Belgium and Tulum, Mexico, becoming a sought-after experience for fans seeking a more immersive and introspective festival journey.
A Landmark Moment for Australia
The arrival of CORE in Australia places the country firmly on Tomorrowland’s global map, recognising its growing influence and maturity within the international electronic music community. This announcement is expected to elevate Australia’s profile as a major destination for world-class music festivals and cultural events.
Industry insiders believe the move will also boost tourism and attract international visitors, reinforcing Australia’s reputation as a hub for premium live music experiences.
