Fire engulfs main stage of Tomorrowland festival, two days before opening
A fire broke out at the main stage of the Tomorrowland music festival in Boom, Belgium, just two days before the event was scheduled to start. The blaze started in the early hours of the morning and quickly spread, engulfing the entire stage structure. No injuries have been reported as the area was vacant at the time of the fire.
