'Devastating' blaze destroys main stage at major festival - two days before it was due to begin
A huge fire has destroyed the main stage of a major festival in Belgium - two days before it was due to begin.
Tomorrowland is a dance music event as big as Glastonbury - and David Guetta was due to perform. Footage showed flames and thick plumes of black smoke engulfing the stage and spreading to nearby woodland on Wednesday.
The annual festival in the town of Boom, north of Brussels, is one of the biggest in Europe and attracts about 400,000 people over two consecutive weekends. It is famous for its immersive and elaborate designs and attracts big names within dance music - including Guetta, best known for tracks When Love Takes Over and Titanium.
Dutch DJs Martin Garrix and Charlotte de Witte were also due to perform, along with the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Eric Prydz and Alok. The festival's website described the creative elements which went into the elaborate main stage.
The theme, described as Orbyz, was "set in a magical universe made entirely out of ice" and "full of mythical creatures".
