Fire Breaks Out at Tomorrowland’s Main Stage Just Days Before Festival Opens

A fire broke out on Tomorrowland’s main stage in Boom, Belgium on Wednesday, July 16, only two days before the festival was set to welcome thousands of music fans.

Videos shared on social media show flames burning through the festival’s huge stage setup while emergency services worked nearby. Local reports say that some emergency crews were already on the grounds preparing for the event when the fire started.

No festival-goers were at the site yet, as it was still closed to the public. However, staff and workers were there setting up. People living near the festival grounds were asked to keep their windows and doors closed for safety.

Tomorrowland is one of the biggest electronic music festivals in the world, known for its incredible stages and top DJs. Last year, it drew about 400,000 visitors from all over the globe.

Organizers have not yet shared details about how much damage was done or whether the fire will change this weekend’s plans. With the festival set to start on Friday, many fans are waiting to hear if the main stage will be ready in time.

For updates and safety information, attendees should follow Tomorrowland’s official channels and local news sources.
