Tomorrowland is bringing its CORE concept to Australia for the first time — and tickets are already gone.
Set to take over The Nursery at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne, on 28 November, the inaugural CORE Melbourne will bring together international electronic heavyweights and homegrown talent for a day of house, techno, and underground sounds.
The sold-out Australian debut marks another milestone in CORE’s international expansion. Having staged editions across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, Melbourne brings the Tomorrowland concept to its fifth continent and its furthest destination from home yet.

Leading the lineup are Honey Dijon, Mall Grab, Effy, Moodymann, TSHA, Dino Lenny, Daria Kolosova, and Kobosil. Mall Grab and Effy will join forces for a special back-to-back set, while Melbourne selectors Jennifer Loveless and Jnett are also part of the bill.
Rounding out the lineup are fumi, Hannah D, Hitmiløw, Lola Voss b2b Billy Currie, and Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue.
CORE Melbourne will feature multiple stages, including the return of the Mano stage. Making only its second appearance at a CORE festival following its debut in Los Angeles, the stage will focus on underground sounds with sets from Daria Kolosova, fumi, and Colombian artists Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue.
The event will also bring CORE's signature visual world to The Nursery, a green open-air space within Flemington Racecourse. The concept is known for combining electronic music with nature-inspired staging, technology, and immersive visual storytelling.
CORE Melbourne is organised by Collective Minds and Framed Agency. The festival is also presented in partnership with Australian non-profit ticketing platform Humanitix, which donates its profits from booking fees to charitable initiatives, including education programmes for disadvantaged children.
