CORE Los Angeles announces lineup for debut edition
Core Los Angeles reveals lineup for u.s. debut as tomorrowland and Insomniac brings the concept to California.
CORE Los Angeles has officially announced the lineup for its debut U.S. edition, arriving in collaboration with Tomorrowland and Insomniac. The two-day event will take place from May 2-3, 2026, bringing one of Tomorrowland’s more recognizable concepts to the heart of California for the first time.
Originally introduced as part of the Tomorrowland universe, CORE has since grown into its own event series, appearing in select cities around the globe. The project has become closely associated with deeper house and techno sounds, paired with a distinct visual identity that sets it apart from traditional festival stages. CORE is defined by its towering face structure, a sculptural form that feels more like a presence than a backdrop.
The stage’s signature face design has become a defining visual around the world, known for creating an experience like no other and elevating the sonic experience. That same approach carries into the Los Angeles edition, which continues CORE’s emphasis on a carefully curated lineup
The Los Angeles lineup includes Four Tet and TSHA, alongside Nina Kraviz. Additional artists such as Hannah Laing, Oscar and the Wolf, Samm, and SIM0NE are setting the tone for CORE’s first U.S. appearance. The lineup blends internationally recognized artists with emerging talent, highlighting a range of sounds.
Los Angeles joins a growing list of CORE destinations in 2026. Alongside the event’s third edition to Medellin, the series makes its debut appearance in Melbourne. Each city offers its own interpretation of the CORE experience, and each stop reflects continued expansion into new regions.
Pre-sale access begins January 29, with a general sale following on January 30. CORE Los Angeles stands as a major milestone in the continued expansion of the Tomorrowland and Insomniac collaboration.

My name is Alejandra Benitez and I was born and raised in the DMV. Having close proximity to Washington D.C. means I am accustomed to a fast paced environment as things are constantly changing. For me, the EDM scene has provided so much comfort and space to really find myself even amongst chaos. My first ever show was Zeds Dead and it truly changed my outlook on community and further affirmed my love for music. I am a basshead at heart but enjoy exploring new genres and artists. Being a writer for Exron has given me an amazing opportunity to learn more about the electronic music industry and I love being able to express myself creatively. Some of my favorite artists include Levity, Rezz, Tape B, Disco Lines, and Sub Focus.
