An estimated 400,000 attendees are expected over the course of the festival, with many already settled into the Dreamville campsite. Despite the worrying incident, no injuries have been reported, and safety experts have declared the site secure as they investigate the cause of the fire. Tomorrowland spokesperson Debby Wilmsen expressed optimism about having a "nice, new stage" ready soon. In the event of an incomplete setup, alternative arrangements will see scheduled acts perform at the nearby Gathering Stage.

Festival-goers like Bradley Cooper-Barnard, who have made long journeys to attend, are determined to find joy in festival atmosphere, although a somber tone has settled over the campsite in the wake of the incident. Tomorrowland's social media echoed this sentiment, expressing the profound impact of losing the iconic Orbyz main stage. Emergency meetings involving festival officials and local safety bodies have taken place to discuss response strategies.

The fire erupted around 6 PM local time on Wednesday, with videos capturing the chaos as large plumes of smoke ascended from the stage. Evacuations occurred in nearby residences while firefighting efforts included aerial water drops from police helicopters. Describing the scene, one worker described it as "apocalyptic," highlighting the shock of seeing the stage they’d just completed engulfed in flames.

Since its inception in 2005, Tomorrowland has evolved into the world's largest electronic music festival, drawing fans globally and showcasing 14 stages, albeit smaller than the main stage.

Music lovers and festival fans alike hold their breath for this weekend, hoping for a remarkable recovery amid challenging circumstances.
