CORE Returns to Los Angeles for October 2027 Edition

Tomorrowland and Insomniac will bring CORE Los Angeles back to L.A. State Historic Park on October 2–3, 2027. The two-day alternative house and techno event follows CORE's first U.S. edition, which took place in May 2026 and drew 30,000 fans across three stages. Pre-registration is open now, with the first ticket sale launching November 12.

Building on the Debut U.S. Edition

The inaugural Los Angeles edition featured Four Tet, Eric Prydz, and Nina Kraviz leading the lineup, with Belgian artists Oscar and the Wolf and Samm also appearing. Malugi, Emilija, and Mall Grab rounded out the weekend's performances, all set against the backdrop of downtown Los Angeles.

The CORE concept originated as a stage inside Tomorrowland Belgium, where its design incorporated the surrounding forest landscape. Over time, it evolved into its own standalone event series focused on alternative house and techno, expanding beyond Belgium to cities including Medellín and Tulum. The concept has also appeared at Tomorrowland Brasil and Tomorrowland Winter.

International Expansion Continues

CORE's global calendar continues to grow. Melbourne hosts its first edition on November 28, 2026—an event that has already sold out—while Tomorrowland Thailand will also feature the concept, bringing it into the Asian market. The 2027 Los Angeles return marks the event's second appearance in the city where its American chapter began.

Ticketing and Access

The pre-sale begins November 12, 2026, at 12:00 PST and 21:00 CET for Tomorrowland Account holders, Insomniac Passport holders, and pre-registered guests. General sale follows on November 20 at the same time, subject to availability. Two-day general admission passes start at $159.99, while two-day VIP passes begin at $309.99, with service and Front Gate Tickets fees included. Layaway options are available with an optional $9.99 deposit.

Single-day tickets may be released later if the event does not sell out, and entry is restricted to guests aged 21 and over. The 2027 edition will once again feature daytime performances continuing into the evening, with the CORE Stage at the center of the festival.
