Celeste, Action Bronson, Ezra Collective, and Sylvie Kreusch, among others, will perform hip hop, R&B, and soul at the outdoor Ardo. The Ardo is always followed by a party. Paul Kalkbrenner will close out the festival on Friday, and Jamie xx will close it out on Saturday.
Caribou, Fatima Yamaha, MEUTE, Mura Masa, Sohn, and The Blaze will be among the live electronica acts performing in the indoor Endoma. The festival’s outdoor Altverda stage is entirely dedicated to alternative dance, with headliners including Russian techno queen Nina Kraviz, British dj & producer Ross From Friends, and Belgian artist with Italian roots Cellini. House music fans will feel at home at the intimate Orlo, which features Agoria, Bibi Seck, CC:DISCO!, Horse Meat Disco, and Sofia Kourtesis, among others.
CORE Festival’s goals and location.
CORE Festival aims to awaken all senses with a one-of-a-kind total experience where nature, live music, and art collide, providing festivalgoers with an array of impressive and one-of-a-kind art, sound, and light installations that blend harmoniously. The organizations of Tomorrowland & Rock Werchter – two of the world’s most renowned and multi-award-winning festivals, both having received various highly acclaimed international awards and nominations – are joining forces in an exceptional effort to create a completely new, original and refreshing festival in an intimate setting in Brussels’ beautiful nature, aiming to attract 25.000 visitors per day, both Belgian and international festivalgoers.
The new festival will be held in Osseghem Park, a beautiful and picturesque nature area in Brussels located at the foot of the famous Atomium on the Heysel Plateau. The organizers have consciously opted to bring the CORE Festival to the edge of town, while Brussels is home to a wide range of hotels and accommodation options, catering to a vast array of budgets.
