CORE Melbourne arrives at Flemington Racecourse on 28th November 2026
CORE Festival will make its Australian debut at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday, 28th November 2026, with pre-sale tickets opening at 9:00am AEST on Friday 5th June.
The Melbourne event will run from 2:00pm to 11:00pm at The Nursery, the open-air site within Flemington Racecourse. It marks the festival’s first edition in Australia and the furthest event from its original base, following previous editions across Europe, the Americas and Asia.
The first line-up is led by a back-to-back set from Australian artist Mall Grab and UK artist Effy. They will be joined on the mainstage by Honey Dijon, Moodymann, TSHA and Dino Lenny.
CORE Melbourne will also feature the return of the Mano stage, which makes only its second appearance at a CORE Festival after its debut at CORE Los Angeles. The stage will focus on underground electronic music, with performances from Kobosil, Daria Kolosova, HiTMiLØW, Lola Voss b2b Billy Currie, fumi and Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue.
The Noise Mafia and Peterblue pairing has a direct link to CORE’s recent history, with both Colombian artists coming from the same roots and scene that the festival has been connected to over the past three years.
The Melbourne edition also comes with a new ticketing partnership. CORE has named Humanitix as its ticketing partner for the Australian debut. Humanitix is an Australian non-profit ticketing platform that donates all profits from booking fees to charitable causes, with a focus on education programs for disadvantaged children.
Interest in the Australian launch has already passed previous CORE events, according to the supplied announcement. Pre-sale registrations close at 6:00pm AEST on Thursday 4th June, before pre-sale tickets open the following morning.
General sale tickets will open at 9:00am AEST on Thursday, 11th June.
