Tomorrowland Organisers Say Festival Will Go Ahead After Fire Destroys Main Stage

Tens of thousands of campers have arrived at Tomorrowland in Belgium, a day after a fire destroyed the festival’s main stage.

Festival organisers have insisted that the event in the town of Boom, south of Antwerp, will continue without the stage, adding that they are “focused on finding solutions”.

Nobody was injured in Wednesday evening’s blaze and experts are working to determine a cause.The electronic dance music festival is due to start on Friday, with 400,000 people expected to attend over two weekends.

Hundreds of artists, including David Guetta, Lost Frequencies, Swedish House Mafia and Charlotte De Witte are expected to perform.

Cancelling the festival completely is the last thing we want to do,” Jurgen Callaerts said.

There are 14 other stages at the festival, all much smaller than the main stage.
