Tickets now on sale for CORE Melbourne

CORE is travelling further from home than ever before. On Saturday November 28, 2026, CORE will make its Australian debut, landing in Melbourne for its very first edition in the country. Taking place at Flemington Racecourse, the event brings CORE’s unique world of music, nature and immersive visuals to Australia for the very first time. With a carefully curated lineup, a new partnership with Humanitix, and huge excitement from music fans worldwide, CORE continues its global journey by unlocking its fifth continent. Tickets for the Melbourne edition are available as from June 5th during pre-sale and June 10th during the general sale.

CORE will make its long-awaited Australian debut on Saturday November 28 at The Nursery, the green open-air setting within Melbourne’s iconic Flemington Racecourse. Surrounded by nature while remaining just minutes from the city centre and easily accessible by public transport, the venue offers the perfect setting for CORE’s world of music and visual storytelling. Bringing the festival experience to Australia for the very first time, Melbourne is ready to welcome CORE for a new chapter.

After editions across Europe, the Americas and Asia, CORE now reaches its fifth continent, making this the furthest CORE event ever organized. You, the People of Tomorrow, have shown incredible excitement from the very first announcement, with the Melbourne edition already generating more interest than any previous CORE event. The anticipation around CORE’s Australian debut is stronger than ever.

The lineup brings 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 Daria Kolosova, 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. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks.

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. By joining forces with Humanitix, CORE brings people together through music while also supporting initiatives that create long-term opportunities for young people.

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. The Australian debut represents not only a new destination, but also a celebration of the worldwide community that has formed around CORE over the years. As anticipation keeps building, all signs point toward a landmark first edition in Melbourne this November.
