CORE Melbourne 2026 Set Times.jpg

CORE Melbourne has dropped its full set times ahead of the sold-out debut event at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday 28th November, 2026, giving attendees their first look at how the day will unfold across three stages. Running from 2:00pm to 11:00pm AEST, the schedule confirms sets across the Core, Mano, and Orlo stages, with the release also unveiling four fresh additions to the lineup: Bibi Seck, Yowies, Adriana b2b Edd Fisher, and Jnett.

The Core stage opens with Dino Lenny before moving through Bibi Seck, TSHA, Moodymann, and Honey Dijon, with Mall Grab b2b Effy closing out the night from 10:00pm. Over on Mano, Lola Voss b2b Billy Currie kick things off from 2:00pm, followed by HiTMiLØW, Fumi, Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue, Daria Kolosova, and Kobosil rounding out the evening. The Orlo stage, which appears to be a new addition for the Melbourne edition, hosts Yowies, Hannah D, Adriana b2b Edd Fisher, Jnett, and Jennifer Loveless across the afternoon and evening.

The Orlo stage is a notable talking point, with the set times marking its first confirmed appearance in CORE's history and adding a third dimension to what was already a compelling program. The four new artist additions span a strong cross-section of sounds, from the West African-influenced percussion of Bibi Seck to the Melbourne underground credibility of Jennifer Loveless and Jnett, strengthening the local representation on the bill.

With all tickets already sold out and the event just weeks away, the set times release gives ticketholders everything they need to start planning their day at what is shaping up to be one of the most significant electronic music events in Australian festival history. CORE Melbourne takes place on 28th November, 2026 at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Victoria.

The sold-out debut of CORE Melbourne at Flemington Racecourse is set for 28th November, 2026, with the full three-stage set times now available.

Tomorrowland's globally celebrated CORE Festival has officially revealed its debut Australian lineup, with CORE Melbourne set to take place on Saturday 28th November, 2026 at Flemington Racecourse. Running from 2:00pm to 11:00pm AEST and open to attendees aged 18 and over, the event touches down in the open-air Nursery precinct of one of Melbourne's most iconic venues, marking CORE's arrival on its fifth continent and its most geographically ambitious edition to date. Pre-sale registration is now closed, with pre-sale tickets going live at 9:00am AEST on Friday 5th June, 2026, followed by a general sale opening Thursday 11th June, 2026.

The lineup is headlined by a landmark back-to-back set from Melbourne-loved DJ Mall Grab and UK electronic powerhouse Effy, joined on the mainstage by Honey Dijon, Moodymann, TSHA, and Dino Lenny. Underground devotees will be well served by the returning Mano stage, making only its second-ever appearance at a CORE event following its Los Angeles debut. That stage features Kobosil, Daria Kolosova, HiTMiLØW, Lola Voss b2b Billy Currie, Fumi, and a particularly meaningful pairing in Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue, two Colombian artists deeply connected to the scene CORE has championed for years.

CORE Melbourne has already generated more pre-event interest than any previous edition worldwide, signalling extraordinary demand from Australian electronic music fans. Ticketing is handled exclusively through Humanitix, an Australian non-profit platform that donates 100 per cent of booking fee profits to charitable education programmes for disadvantaged children, a partnership that reflects CORE's broader commitment to community and cultural impact.

Having already established editions across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, CORE Festival's Melbourne chapter represents a landmark moment in the brand's international evolution. With a carefully assembled bill spanning house, techno, and leftfield electronic sounds, and a venue that offers an immersive open-air atmosphere, CORE Melbourne looks set to deliver the kind of singular festival experience that has earned the event its devoted global following.
