Tomorrowland Main Stage Destroyed by Fire Ahead of Festival

A massive fire destroyed the main stage at Belgium's Tomorrowland festival just 48 hours before the event was set to begin, with no injuries reported. Despite the loss of the main stage, the festival organisers confirmed that Tomorrowland will proceed as planned, including the opening of the DreamVille campsite and all Global Journey activities. Secondary fires occurred but were controlled, and firefighters worked to prevent the blaze from spreading to nearby woodland. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though fireworks were reportedly heard at the time of the incident. Festival officials emphasized their focus on safety and finding solutions to ensure the weekend's events continue, with the other stages remaining intact. Around 38,000 festivalgoers are expected to arrive, and organisers promised a warm welcome and efforts to make the event special despite the setback.
