In a shocking turn of events, the main stage at Belgium's Tomorrowland electronic dance music festival has been severely damaged due to a fire that broke out on July 16, 2025. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
The fire, which sent thick plumes of black smoke into the sky, occurred just days before the festival's scheduled opening. The festival, one of the world's largest electronic dance music festivals, is set to run from Friday, July 18, through Sunday, July 20.

Despite the damage, festival organisers are focused on finding solutions for the upcoming weekend. DreamVille, the festival's campsite, will still open as planned on Thursday, July 17. All pre-festival activities in Brussels and Antwerp will proceed as planned.
As of now, no updates regarding the replacement or repair of the main stage have been provided. Similarly, no information about potential changes to the lineup or schedule has been revealed. Headline performers at the festival include David Guetta, Charlotte De Witte, and Martin Garrix.
