What to expect at a Core event
3 min read
Core Entertainment was founded in 2023 on a simple belief: Atlanta's nightlife deserves more intention. We are not just promoters. Every event starts with a concept and gets built out from there, which is why no two nights we throw feel quite the same.
If this is your first one, here is roughly how a night goes.
Getting in
Every event page lists its own age requirement, and it is the first thing worth checking before you buy. Most of what we book is 18+, but some rooms are 21+ depending on the venue. Bring a physical ID — a photo of one will not get you through the door.
Ticket links live on the event page itself. When a show is close to selling out we say so, and we would rather you buy ahead than get turned away at capacity.
How the night runs
Door times and start times are not the same thing. Doors are when you can get in; the room usually does not fill until an hour or so after. If you want to be near the front for a headliner, come early. If you would rather skip the wait, come later — the last two hours are almost always the peak.
What we book
- Concerts — we hosted The Concrete Boys' first-ever concert, a few events after launching with a Georgia State University homecoming show
- Day parties — daytime events that run into the evening
- Raves and 18+ nights built for the 18 to 26 crowd
We are the hub for Atlanta youth culture, and we exist to cultivate community in this city rather than import trends into it. Every detail matters to us because every event is meant to be a memory.
Finding the next one
Upcoming shows are always on our events page, along with an archive of everything we have thrown. If you want announcements first, that is what our Instagram is for.
