Dramatic scenes unfolded at the world-famous Tomorrowland festival as a ferocious fire erupted, engulfing a stage and sending a towering plume of smoke into the sky. The blaze, reportedly sparked by fireworks, caused chaos as attendees watched in horror.
Fireworks Trigger Devastating Blaze
Eyewitnesses described how a pyrotechnic display went catastrophically wrong, with flames rapidly spreading across the stage structure. Videos shared on social media show the inferno lighting up the night sky as emergency services rushed to the scene.
Chaos as Festival-Goers Evacuate
While no injuries have been reported, the incident caused significant disruption to the electronic dance music festival in Boom, Belgium. Organisers were forced to halt performances as safety crews worked to contain the flames.
Stage Left in Ruins
The fire completely destroyed one of the festival's elaborate stage designs, a major setback for the event known for its spectacular production values. Clean-up operations began immediately, with organisers vowing the show would go on.
Tomorrowland, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, is considered one of the world's premier electronic music festivals. This year's edition marked the event's return after pandemic-related cancellations.
