On Wednesday evening, festival organizers confirmed that a serious fire incident had utterly ravaged the iconic main stage of the Tomorrowland festival, which is highly anticipated to start this Friday in Boom, Belgium. "Due to a serious incident and fire on the Tomorrowland Mainstage, our beloved Mainstage has been severely damaged," the organizing team announced. Fortunately, the statement reassured fans that no injuries were reported, though the cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
The fire broke out at approximately 18:00 local time, with social media buzzing as videos captured dark plumes of smoke enveloping the stage. Firefighters quickly mobilized to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to nearby residential areas and forests, which led to the temporary evacuation of some local residents.
Despite this unforeseen setback, festival organizers affirmed in an update on their website that the campsite will open on schedule on Thursday. Their primary focus now is to devise solutions that will enable the festival to proceed as planned over the weekend, where an estimated 400,000 attendees are expected throughout the two weekends. The resilience of Tomorrowland fans will be put to the test as the festival looks to adapt and keep the spirit alive against the backdrop of this major incident.
