A fire on Wednesday evening destroyed the elaborate main stage at Tomorrowland, a major electronic music festival scheduled to begin on Friday in Belgium.
Nobody was injured in the fire, organizers said. They did not identify its cause.
“The Orbyz Mainstage of Tomorrowland Belgium 2025, a creation born from pure passion, imagination, and dedication, is no more,” the festival said on its website on Thursday morning. “It’s impossible to put into words what we’re feeling.”
Other areas and stages of the festival grounds were unaffected and the festival will go on as planned, organizers said.
As of Thursday morning, the fire had been extinguished and firefighters had left the festival site, according to Brandweerzone Rivierenland, the local fire department.
The fire department said it received a call about a fire around 6 p.m. local time on Wednesday. Around three hours later, the fire was under control, but firefighters stayed through the night to put out flare-ups.
