The main stage at Tomorrowland 2025 in Boom, Belgium, has been severely damaged by a major fire just one day before the festival’s scheduled opening[2][4][7]. The blaze broke out on July 16, 2025, with reports and videos showing flames engulfing the festival’s iconic stage while firefighters battled to control the situation[5]. The incident has sent shockwaves through the electronic music community, as Tomorrowland is one of the world’s most anticipated music festivals, attracting tens of thousands of attendees every year[3].
Smoke from the fire reportedly forced nearby residents to evacuate or shelter in place, and organizers are working to assess the full extent of the damage[5]. There is widespread speculation and concern about whether the event can proceed as planned, given the proximity to the festival’s opening date and the prominence of the main stage in festival programming[7]. As of now, official statements from Tomorrowland’s organizers regarding changes to the lineup, stage schedules, or possible postponement have not yet been released.
