Australia’s festival scene has hit a slump in recent years, with music festival cancellations, shifting line-ups, and growing festival fatigue taking a toll. But just as the buzz was fading, a beacon of hope appears: Tomorrowland — one of the world’s most iconic EDM festivals — is finally coming Down Under in all its vibrant, electronic glory. For the first time ever, its legendary CORE stage is set to touch down in Melbourne in November 2026. Here’s everything we know so far.
What Is The Core Stage At Tomorrowland?
Tomorrowland’s CORE stage first made its striking debut in 2017 at the main festival and has since become a highlight at Tomorrowland Brazil and Tomorrowland Winter. Building on its success, the iconic stage evolved into a standalone event series, kicking off with CORE Tulum in 2023 and followed by the launch of CORE Medellín in 2024.
Known for its immersive jungle-inspired design and focus on underground sounds, CORE showcases some of the biggest names in house and techno. Past lineups have featured acclaimed artists like Vintage Culture, Maceo Plex, Disclosure, Dixon, Paul Kalkbrenner, Agents Of Time, and more, cementing its reputation as a must-see destination for electronic music lovers.

At this point, we’re waiting for Tomorrowland to make an official announcement, likely toward the end of 2025 or early 2026. All information and ticket sales will be available on the CORE World website.
When Did They Announce Tomorrowland?
While Tomorrowland’s Melbourne debut hasn’t been officially confirmed, all signs point to something big on the horizon. A video reportedly filmed at this year’s Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium — and shared on TikTok by user @mofftits — showed a world map lining the path to the festival’s CORE stage. The map highlighted Melbourne and Los Angeles as possible future destinations for the event.
If the rumours hold true, Melbourne is poised to become the next destination in its global expansion. And it makes perfect sense, with its thriving dance music culture and vibrant nightlife, the city is more than ready to host a festival of this scale.
