A massive fire has destroyed the main stage of Belgium’s Tomorrowland festival just days before it was set to begin, forcing organizers to scramble for last-minute solutions.
Organizers confirmed that no one was injured, but visuals from the scene showed the stage engulfed in flames and heavy black smoke spreading toward nearby woodland.
The festival, which draws tens of thousands of music lovers from across Europe, is scheduled to start on Friday.
“Due to a serious incident and fire on the Tomorrowland Mainstage, our beloved Mainstage has been severely damaged,” read a statement on the festival’s official website.
The cause of the fire remains unknown.
Despite the setback, organizers said they are focused on finding solutions to keep the event going.
Tomorrowland is known for its spectacular stage designs and massive crowds, making the damage a significant blow just before the festivities were set to begin.
