Solid fire destroys Tomorrowland Music Festival Main on stage days before the opening


A massive fire damaged the main stage in Belgium's Tomorrowland, one of the largest electronic dance music festivals, just a few days before its planned opening.

The fire broke out on Wednesday on the festival site in Boom, Belgium, where thick black clouds of smoke got into the air. Video recordings on social media showed large flames that devour the main stage together with what sounded like fireworks.

“Due to a serious incident and a serious fire, our beloved main stage was badly damaged,” said Tomorrowland officials on Instagram. They added that the festival's campsite, Dreamville, is still open on Thursday, July 17th.
