Tomorrowland Releases Emotional Statement One Day After Main Stage Catches Fire
On Wednesday, the main stage at the Tomorrowland Music Festival caught fire in a tough scene.
Tomorrowland, a popular electronic music festival in Belgium, was set to begin on Friday with the DreamVille campsite opening on Thursday for festivalgoers to get settled.
However, the fire hit the main stage, although nobody was reported injured during the incident.
On Thursday, Tomorrowland posted another update on the situation in an emotional release on the website, and it started by saying that the DreamVille campsite had opened.
"It's impossible to put into words what we're feeling," the statement read. "The Orbyz Mainstage of Tomorrowland Belgium 2025, a creation born from pure passion, imagination, and dedication, is no more."
This wasn't just a stage. It was a living, breathing world. From the very first sketch on a blank page, to countless hours of conceptual design, artistic collaboration, engineering, crafting, building, every single piece of Orbyz carried part of our soul," the statement continued.
A moment of appreciation for Tomorrowland’s Orbyz stage. Would’ve been an all-time design ????

"But, we hold on to the magic Prbyz gave up. To the dream it carried. To the team who gave their all," the post added.
Tomorrowland organizers spent time trying to find a solution, but it seemed too late given the damage to the main stage and the amount of work that had already gone into putting it together.
At this point, the Tomorrowland festival will begin on Friday, July 18, and the two-weekend festival averages over 400,000 visitors.
