Fire Destroys Tomorrowland Main Stage Just Before Festival Opening
A devastating fire at Tomorrowland festival's main stage has raised concerns as the event approaches.
A fire broke out at the Tomorrowland festival site in Belgium on Wednesday afternoon, severely damaging the iconic main stage just two days before the event's anticipated start. Festival organizers announced the incident in a statement, confirming that no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire, which engulfed the stage around 6 PM local time, remains unknown.
Videos circulating on social media depicted thick plumes of smoke spiraling into the sky, highlighting the intensity of the blaze. Emergency services rushed to the scene to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby residential areas and woods, prompting the evacuation of some local residents as a precautionary measure.
In a message posted on their official website, Tomorrowland organizers reassured attendees, stating that the festival's campsite will open on schedule on Thursday. They are actively working on solutions to ensure a successful festival weekend, which is expected to draw about 400,000 electronic dance music fans over the next two weekends in the town of Boom, situated south of Antwerp. The team is determined to not let this incident overshadow the festive spirit of the event.
