A huge fire has broken out at the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium, with firefighters trying to put out the flames, reports the Mirror. There are many videos and photos circulating on social media, showing huge flames and thick smoke covering the main stage of the world's largest electronic music festival:

Tomorrowland is scheduled to start on Friday, so there are no festivalgoers on site yet, but around a thousand organizers and workers were at the festival site in Boom, Belgium.

According to a more recent video, the entire main stage burned down:

Festival organizers and local authorities have yet to issue a statement on the incident. It is not known what caused the fire – the X said it may have been caused by pyrotechnics and fireworks – or if there were any injuries. The newspaper said residents in the area were asked to close their windows and doors.
