Tomorrowland Core Melbourne Announced its lineup today for November 28 2026. The general consensus from online comments so far appear to be that the lineup is pretty basic, including no big international headliners from the techno/house world (compared to core LA and Medellin) and that ticket prices of $210+ AUD for general admission and $500+ AUD for VIP is way too expensive. Tomorrowland Core Melbourne was announced in August 2025 with the event taking place in November 2026. That is 15 months notice that the general public has known about this event.

Unless there are some bigger international names to bolster the lineup in a phase 2 announcement later on...I'm unsure if the event goes ahead given the lack of demand based upon the current lineup to be able to sell 30,000+ tickets at the Flemington venue within 4.5 months...unless they move to a much smaller venue. Not taking away anything from the artists that are on the lineup, all very talented in their own right, however unfortunately unlikely to live up to the expectations of most given the other core lineups in other countries of recent times.

If this event doesn't do well, I'm afraid that it may have been the first and last event of the Tomorrowland brand in Australia for the foreseeable future which sucks because this lineup isn't representative of how big Tomorrowland as a brand could be in this part of the world.

LA core got Eric Prydz, Artbat, Four Tet, Hannah Laing, Nina Kraviz as headliners, Medellin got Dom Dolla, Artbat and Mind Against as headliners - Safe to say most expected at least 1-2 bigger international headliners particularly as the first Tomorrowland branded event in Australia to build the brand name up within this location, which is why I think the general consensus is overall disappointment with the lineup and ticket prices.

Any experts out there feel free to share your opinion on the best area of the stadium to buy for a stadium show with best view/inclusions.
