Initially born in the magical forests of Tomorrowland as one of its most iconic and beloved stages, CORE now represents its own universe and musical DNA within Tomorrowland. Deeply rooted in nature and guided by a mission to bring people together through the finest alternative house & techno music, CORE unveils a global festival tour with three world-spanning destinations for 2026, bringing the mythical and beautifully crafted stage alongside a spectacular audiovisual experience to all corners of the globe.
 
Entirely designed and crafted in-house by Tomorrowland’s creative team, the CORE stage with its stunning face design is a real artistic masterpiece that turned in no time into a true crowd favorite and has become a symbol of deep, alternative sounds. The CORE stage is known for its unique, immersive audiovisual experience and storytelling, taking festivalgoers on a multi-sensory journey with lights, dynamic videos, and enchanting scents. The sonic focus of CORE remains alternative house and techno music, branching off to different subgenres with both internationally renowned acts, as well as new talents.
 
The CORE universe also lives beyond the stage through cutting-edge releases on its boutique label CORE Records and the monthly CORE Radio Show on One World Radio, spotlighting the most exciting emerging talent from around the world. Blending internationally renowned acts with boundary-pushing new voices across a range of subgenres, CORE delivers the energy of a full-fledged party while inviting audiences into a world of unexpected musical discoveries.
