Tomorrowland's CORE Launches in the U.S. with Los Angeles Debut

Belgium’s globally renowned festival concept lands at LA State Historic Park for the first time, as Tomorrowland and Insomniac bring a high-end audiovisual universe to the U.S. electronic scene.

Tomorrowland’s CORE is set to make a significant impact as it takes its U.S. debut in Los Angeles. On May 2nd and 3rd, the iconic festival lands at the historic park, marking a new chapter in the North American electronic music scene.

This collaboration between Tomorrowland and Insomniac follows their memorable partnership during the UNITY shows in Las Vegas, where they showcased a shared vision of immersive electronic music experiences. Now they’re bringing the CORE concept—a multifaceted artistic platform recognized worldwide—for American audiences to enjoy.

CORE is notorious for its innovative audiovisual design, deep engagement with underground sounds, and an atmosphere that envelopes attendees in its transformative energy. Its success transcends borders, with past editions delighting fans in Belgium, France, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, and its presence is expanding globally, notably with an upcoming event in Melbourne(Australia).

The significance of CORE’s arrival in Los Angeles cannot be overstated; it marks the first time U.S. audiences will have access to this exclusive concept that has so deeply rooted itself in the festival experience.

Set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles State Historic Park, just a stone’s throw from Downtown, this event will transform one of L.A.’s most iconic outdoor venues into a spectacle of electronic music. Visually stunning stage designs, cutting-edge production values, and a thoughtfully curated lineup will resonate with both global icons and emerging underground artists alike.

This inaugural edition will feature a diverse lineup that includes notable acts, some of whom will be gracing the CORE stage for the very first time. Artists like Four Tet, Hannah Laing, Mija, Eric Prydz, and Mall Grab—who recently made waves with his track “Just The Way You Are”—are set to perform.

Also taking the stage are Malugi, whose high-energy house tracks are quickly gaining popularity, and Masha Mar, a pivotal figure in L.A.’s underground scene and a champion of inclusive club culture. Honey Dijon, a global house icon, is also set to return, alongside Benwal, following their dynamic performance at CORE Medellín.

Additionally, CORE continues to evolve beyond a mere stage setup into a broader cultural movement. Ahead of the event, Mija plans to release her new single “Dance Like You Mean It” in collaboration with Florian Picasso under CORE Records, reinforcing the label’s growing influence in the electronic music landscape.

Belgium’s artistic presence will also be felt, as artists like Oscar and the Wolf, Samm, Capoon, Emilija, and Kneiz add international flavor to the lineup, enhancing the diverse tapestry that defines CORE.

As CORE makes its U.S. debut, it introduces a fresh perspective to the Los Angeles festival scene. By merging high-caliber production with an underground ethos, it sets a new standard for immersive electronic events, promising unforgettable experiences for all attendees.
