A massive fire has destroyed the iconic main stage of Tomorrowland, one of the world’s most celebrated electronic dance music festivals, just two days before it was set to open its gates to hundreds of thousands of fans in Boom, Belgium.
The blaze broke out around 18:00 local time today (July 16) and quickly swept through the elaborate ice-themed structure. Dramatic videos shared on social media showed thick plumes of grey and black smoke rising into the sky, with fireworks exploding above the flames.
“Due to a serious incident and fire on the Tomorrowland Mainstage, our beloved Mainstage has been severely damaged,” read an official statement from organizers.
