Share Share Share

CORE Festival will make its long-awaited Australian debut on 28 November 2026, the immersive festival experience lands in Melbourne for its very first edition in the country with pre-sale tickets available now.

Hosted in The Nursery, the open-air setting within Melbourne's iconic Flemington Racecourse, the venue offers the ideal setting for CORE's immersive world of music and visual storytelling. The event marks another major step in CORE's international journey, with a carefully curated lineup, a new partnership with Humanitix, and record-breaking interest from fans worldwide, CORE continues its global expansion by unlocking its fifth continent.

The line up reflects CORE's commitment to bringing together internationally acclaimed names and forward-thinking talent from across the electronic music spectrum. Leading the announcement is a highly anticipated back-to-back set from Australian favourite Mall Grab and UK powerhouse Effy, a pairing that brings together two of the most exciting names in contemporary electronic music.

The mainstage will also welcome Honey Dijon, Moodymann, TSHA and Dino Lenny. The Melbourne edition will furthermore mark the return of the Mano stage, making only its second appearance at a CORE Festival following its debut at CORE Los Angeles.

Dedicated to cutting-edge underground sounds, the stage will host performances from Kobosil, Daria Kolosova, HiTMiLØW, Lola Voss b2b Billy Currie, fumi and Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue. The latter back-to-back pairing carries a special significance, with both Colombian artists sharing the same roots and scene that CORE has been closely connected to over the past three years.

After editions across Europe, the Americas and Asia, CORE now reaches its fifth continent, making this the furthest CORE event ever organized. The move underlines the growing global appetite for the festival's distinctive identity and atmosphere. From the very first announcement, excitement around the Melbourne edition has exceeded expectations. The event has already generated more interest than any previous CORE event, confirming the strong anticipation surrounding the Australian launch. Tickets officially go on sale tomorrow, with strong demand expected following the record-breaking early interest.

For the Melbourne edition, CORE is partnering with Humanitix for ticketing. Humanitix is an Australian non-profit ticketing platform that donates 100% of its profits from booking fees to charitable causes, with a strong focus on education programs for disadvantaged children. The partnership perfectly aligns with CORE's belief that meaningful experiences can also create meaningful impact.

With Melbourne now added to its growing international map, CORE continues to evolve into a truly global experience while staying connected to the local communities and cultures that shape each edition.
