A major fire incident has devastated the main stage of Belgium's Tomorrowland festival, just two days before it opens its doors. Festival organizers confirmed on Wednesday that the beloved structure has suffered extensive damage from the flames, although thankfully, there were no reported injuries.
The fire broke out at around 6 PM local time, producing thick smoke that filled the sky, as seen in videos shared by festival-goers on social media. Firefighters quickly mobilized to combat the blaze and prevent it from spreading to nearby homes and forests, prompting the evacuation of some local residents.
With an estimated crowd of 400,000 music fans expected over the festival's two weekends, the organizers have reassured attendees that the campsite will open as scheduled on Thursday, and they are actively working on solutions to ensure a successful event despite the setback. Excitement for the festival remains high as fans prepare for an unforgettable experience in Boom, near Antwerp.
