Exploring Puzzles related to Inferno prior to the Debut of Tomorrowland Festival
In an unexpected turn of events, a fire erupted on the main stage of the Tomorrowland festival in Boom, Belgium, on Wednesday evening at around 6 pm. The incident, which left the main stage in ruins, occurred just days before the festival was set to open.
The fire department was quick to respond, with 100 firefighters on the scene. However, due to the extent of the damage, they were only able to perform damage control. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
A secondary fire, caused by sparks from the main stage blaze, occurred in an adjacent street. However, the fire department was able to extinguish it promptly. The other stages of the festival remain intact.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. A fire expert has been commissioned to visit the scene to make initial assessments and determine the cause. Local media have suggested that fireworks may have been the cause, with sparks possibly jumping onto the stage structures during a test. The Antwerp prosecutor's office has requested an investigating judge to examine the fire and is treating it as negligent arson.
The Belgian prosecutor's office has expressed relief that no one was injured in the incident and offered support to the emergency services, festival organizers, and all involved partners. The festival is expected to take place as planned, with performances from Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, Afrojack, Boris Brejcha, David Guetta, Robin Schulz, or Deadmau5, among others.
Many artists, including Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha, and Afrojack, have expressed their shock and support on Instagram. Charlotte de Witte, who was supposed to play at Tomorrowland on Saturday, also shared her shock and sadness on the platform. Other DJs and musicians, including Blasterjaxx and Anouk Matton, have also expressed their support for the festival.
Despite the setback, the production team is planning to make the festival weekend something special. The campsite of the festival is expected to open as planned on Thursday. As the investigation continues, festival-goers and music lovers alike eagerly await the start of the much-anticipated event.
