A day before Tomorrowland was set to kick off on Thursday, videos of the fest’s main stage engulfed by flames began circulating online. The festival’s official website and Instagram released an official statement confirming the “serious incident and fire,” adding that the event’s “beloved Mainstage has been severely damaged.”
The stage, which is built from scratch each year, was being reduced to rubble. The beat hadn’t even dropped yet. But the festival was already in crisis. Less than 48 hours before Tomorrowland was scheduled to open, the unthinkable happened.
