CORE Los Angeles 2026 Set Times and Essential Info

1 week ago 2

The debut edition of CORE Los Angeles is nearly here, and it’s time to get prepped for the collaborative experience that Tomorrowland and Insomniac are brewing.

Tomorrowland and Insomniac shocked the world last year by announcing that they would be collaborating on an event at Sphere in Las Vegas. The stunning shows showcased the creativity and deep storylines that the two powerhouse promoters have embraced over the years. Yet many were left wondering what would happen if Tomorrowland and Insomniac collaborated on a live event together, and that question will be answered soon enough at CORE Los Angeles.

The house and techno-fueled CORE brand from Tomorrowland has been a force to be reckoned with on the global stage for years, but has yet to make a stop in the United States. That changes on May 2-3, as they’ve teamed up with Insomniac to bring the event to life at LA State Historic Park. And it’s shaping up to be quite the magical experience, backed by a lineup featuring Eric Prydz, Four Tet, Mall Grab, Nina Kraviz, ARTBAT, Dixon, and more.

There are just days to go until this fresh experience kicks off at the picturesque Los Angeles venue — so now is the time for everyone to get prepped, and we’ve compiled the important information for you in one place. Read on for the set times, what you can and can’t bring with you, the bag policy, and more.
