CORE Confirms Los Angeles Debut for 2026 With Insomniac and Major Two-Day Lineup Reveal

CORE

CORE will make its long-awaited US debut in 2026, bringing its distinctive audiovisual universe to Los Angeles for the first time. The two-day open-air event will take place on Saturday, 2 May, and Sunday, 3 May, and will be delivered in collaboration with Insomniac.

Born as one of the most recognisable stages at Tomorrowland, CORE has grown into a standalone global brand, known for its iconic face-shaped stage design and carefully curated musical identity. Rooted in alternative house, melodic techno, and emotionally driven club music, CORE positions sound, storytelling, and visual world-building as a single shared experience.

For its first US edition, CORE Los Angeles presents a bold and wide-ranging lineup that reflects the brand’s curatorial depth. Headline names include Four Tet, Honey Dijon, Nina Kraviz, Eric Prydz, ARTBAT, and Kevin de Vries, alongside a strong supporting cast featuring Dixon, Mall Grab, Krystal Klear, TSHA, Oscar and the Wolf, Mija, Hannah Laing, X Club, Samm, Benwal, and many more.

The programme balances influential pioneers with contemporary artists pushing new emotional and sonic territory. Each booking aligns with CORE’s focus on atmosphere and connection rather than genre boundaries, creating space for long-form sets and immersive progression across both days.

CORE Los Angeles follows a series of successful international editions, with previous shows held in Colombia, Tulum, and Brussels, as well as regular appearances at Tomorrowland festivals worldwide. The Los Angeles edition translates that identity into a Californian open-air setting, marking a significant expansion for the brand.

Tickets for CORE Los Angeles go on general sale on 30 January, with pre-sale access opening on 29 January via core.world. The event forms part of CORE’s wider 2026 programme, which also includes editions in Medellín in February and Melbourne in November.

With music, production, and storytelling fully intertwined, CORE Los Angeles signals a major moment for the brand’s global evolution and its first step into the US festival landscape.
