Main Stage of Tomorrowland Festival Destroyed by Fire Days Before Opening
A devastating fire has devastated the Tomorrowland festival's main stage, occurring just days prior to its highly anticipated opening.
The fire erupted on Wednesday evening around 18:00 local time, just as workers were making final preparations for the event. Organizers revealed that despite the significant damage, the festival is set to proceed as planned, drawing an expected crowd of 400,000 over two weekends in the town of Boom, located south of Antwerp. Multiple renowned artists, including David Guetta, Lost Frequencies, and Swedish House Mafia, are among the performers.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with thick smoke billowing from the stage. One worker vividly described the incident as "an apocalyptic scene," recounting how they heard loud bangs before flames erupted near the stage. “We were just putting the finishing touches on it. One more day and it would have been finished. Four weeks of work... gone in half an hour,” the worker recounted to Het Nieuwsblad newspaper.
Firefighters have been deployed to the scene, working to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby homes and wooded areas, with some residents being evacuated as a precautionary measure.
In a statement on the festival's website, organizers indicated that while the main stage would not be operational, the campsite would still open on Thursday as planned, with efforts centered on ensuring that the festival weekend continues.
