Fire Severely Damages Belgium Tomorrowland Mainstage Ahead Of Festival

A massive fire severely damaged the iconic main stage of Belgium's Tomorrowland electronic dance music festival just two days before its scheduled opening in Boom. Despite the extensive damage and the fire spreading to nearby woodlands, festival organizers confirmed no injuries occurred and emphasized their commitment to finding solutions to ensure the event proceeds as planned over the two weekends. Approximately 100,000 attendees are expected, with many camping onsite at the DreamVille campsite, which will open as scheduled. The fire was fought by several hundred firefighters, and Antwerp prosecutors have launched an investigation, with early indications suggesting the blaze was accidental. The festival, known for its elaborate stages and star-studded lineups including DJs such as David Guetta and Armin van Buuren, has grown into a globally renowned event since its founding 20 years ago. Organizers continue to provide updates and reassure fans that all associated activities and performances will continue despite the setback.
