TheTomorrowlandmusic festival in Belgium suffered a heartbreaking fire two days ago, but a new stage has now been built to replace it.
According toCNN,Tomorrowland’s main stage was almost entirely destroyed by the fire, but no one was injured. No festival-goers were at the scene and the approximately 1,000 staff members in the area were evacuated while firefighters and law enforcement responded to the blaze. No one was injured during the incident.
A new Tomorrowland stage has replaced the mainstage over the last 48 hours.
What This Means For Tomorrowland
The Music Festival Has Successfully Adapted
The EDM dance festival that hosts tens of thousands of patrons each year has hit a major setback. Organizers are actively looking into solutions to still make the festival weekend a reality for the many attendees coming from Belgium and other countries across the world, butthe loss of the main stage certainly proved challenging.
The destruction of the DreamVille campsite could have meant the cancelation of the festival, but organizers have skillfully adapted by constructing this replacement stage.
The headline performers included French DJ David Guetta, Belgian DJ Charlotte De Witte, and Dutch DJ Martin Garrix.
Our Take On The Tomorrowland Main Stage Fire
Most Importantly, No One Was Injured
The most important development to come out of the Tomorrowland main stage fire is that no one is injured. A fire breaking out at a public event attended by tens of thousands could have led to a horrific outcome, and it is a relief that the scene was contained, staff members were evacuated, and the fire was dealt with by firefighters and law enforcement.
The focus has, naturally, turned to the future of theTomorrowlandfestival. It’s easy to understand why cancellation was not seen as the right course of action; so many people have paid for the festival and traveled across the world for it. The DreamVille camp site and Global Journey activities were thankfully unaffected.
