They are all correct. The present continuous is perhaps more often used to refer to the future in connection with verbs denoting movement: I am flying to Mumbai tomorrow. He is coming tonight.

Student grammars and coursebooks sometimes give the impression that there is a clear difference between the five common ways of expressing the future. There are certainly contexts in which one or more may be impossible, but very often a case can be made for any of the five. Real context often, but not always, helps to restrict the number of possibilities.
