Magic in the jungle. CORE is distinguished by a theme connected to nature and organic music, with an atmosphere that makes you feel you're in paradise.

The first edition of CORE in Tulum featured producers such as Nina Kraviz, Vintage Culture and Maceo Plex. Fourteen producers and artists were spread across three stages: the main stage, Jungle, headlined by Nina Kraviz and Maceo Plex; The Island, with melodic techno from Mind Against and Dino Lenny; and The Pool, led by Massano, with Capoon, Beckmann and Kitty Amor.

Since 2017, the magnificent CORE stage has found its hidden home in the enchanting forests of Tomorrowland, surrounded by nature and the deepest sounds. It has quickly become a crowd favorite and a Tomorrowland classic, with performances from the scene's top acts in house and techno.

With its mesmerizing jungle vibe, Zamna Festival is quickly establishing itself as one of the most exciting electronic music experiences in the world. Zamna's annual takeover in Tulum has become a must-attend event for music fans, who gather to celebrate the best of dance music in the natural jungle paradise of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Zamna Festival closed with the mythical CORE stage, one of the most unique at Tomorrowland. Centered on a figure with a serene, upward gaze, the stage is a true artistic masterpiece and a temple of human expression.
