CORE Los Angeles is coming back for a second edition on October 2-3, 2027, at Los Angeles State Historic Park.

What we know

The event is one of three stages of house, techno and indie dance on offer at the park. Pre-sale registration is already open, and fans who sign up can buy tickets from November 12. The general on-sale follows eight days later.

No names have been confirmed for 2027 yet. The organisers say lineups will be shared later. Tickets and details are available through the official CORE website.

The first edition took place in May and was the festival's U.S. debut. According to the source, it drew 30,000 fans. Performers included Four Tet, Eric Prydz, Nina Kraviz, Dixon, Benwal, ARTBAT, Mall Grab and Hannah Laing, among others.

Why it matters

Los Angeles is one of several international destinations for CORE. The series has already made debuts in Medellin and Tulum. It has also appeared at Tomorrowland's flagship festival in Belgium, as well as at its Brazilian and winter editions earlier this year.

Next on the calendar is Melbourne, Australia, where CORE will land for the first time later this month. That makes the Los Angeles return part of a fast-growing touring concept rather than a one-off. For fans of melodic and underground house and techno on the U.S. West Coast, the early announcement gives plenty of time to plan.

You can find more on the festival in our CORE Los Angeles festival listing. If you want to go, registering for the presale before November 12 is the step to take. Keep an eye out for the lineup, since the first edition's bill was a big part of its appeal.
