In a shocking turn of events, the main stage of the iconic Tomorrowland festival in Belgium has reportedly caught fire less than 48 hours before it was set to welcome over 70,000 attendees.
Videos of the incident, now rapidly circulating on social media platforms, show the structure engulfed in flames. Local media outlet GVA was among the first to report on the fire, stating that emergency services have rushed to the scene in large numbers. Authorities have urged residents in the surrounding area to keep windows and doors closed due to potential smoke inhalation risks.
According to The Mirror, approximately 1,000 staff members were present on site during the blaze. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported at this time.
The cause of the fire remains unknown. Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter), alongside additional updates from GVA, reveals just how extensive the fire damage might be. As of now, there is no official statement from Tomorrowland organizers regarding the potential impact on the festival schedule or infrastructure.
DJ Mag and other media outlets have contacted the organizers for more details, but no response has been provided yet. With the festival’s first weekend set to begin imminently, fans around the globe are anxiously awaiting updates.
Tomorrowland is known for its elaborate stage designs, often themed around fantasy worlds and built over several weeks with immense technical effort. A disruption at this scale could have serious implications for performances, logistics, and safety.
