Fire engulfs main stage of Tomorrowland festival, two days before opening
The venue was set to host tens of thousands of people for its opening ceremonies just two days from now
The Tomorrowland music festival in Belgium was set to begin in just two days, but a massive fire engulfed the event's central stage, according to local media. The stage was still under construction when the fire broke out, but now organizers are facing an uphill battle to have it ready in time for the festival's scheduled start. Witnesses captured photos and videos of the fire, which took over 40 minutes to control.
Organizers released a statement explaining the incident and assuring attendees that the festival will go on as planned. "We are currently investigating the cause of the fire, which seemed to start in the roof of the stage construction. The stage was not yet fully completed, which is why we hope that the damage is not as bad as it could have been," the statement read.
Despite the last-minute setback, Tomorrowland organizers are committed to making the festival an epic experience for attendees. "We are working tirelessly to ensure that the opening of Tomorrowland 2023 will be unforgettable for everyone, despite the unforeseen event that occurred this evening," the statement continued.
