A huge fire has engulfed the main stage of Belgium’s world-famous Tomorrowland festival, days ahead of its planned opening on Friday.

A huge fire on Wednesday at Belgium's Tomorrowland music festival site has “severely damaged” the main stage two days before the event was due to start, organizers said.

A day before crowds were set to arrive for the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium, a fire broke out and severely damaged its iconic main stage. The incident occurred in the town of Boom, near Antwerp, just as final preparations were underway.
