A devastating fire has engulfed the main stage at one of Europe’s biggest music festivals.
A frantic operation has been launched to deal with the towering inferno which has taken over Tomorrowland in Belgium.
Footage shows the huge main stage up in flames as thick black clouds of smoke billow into the air over the town of Boom near Antwerp.
At least three-quarters of the spectacular set piece is said to have been decimated.
The festival begins on Thursday but the main stage was not due to be used until Friday.
Some of the world’s most popular DJs were due to take to the stage including Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Fisher, Swedish House Mafia and Steve Aoki.
Witnesses reported hearing fireworks going off as the flames started to engulf the left side of the stage.
Dozens of emergency teams rushed over to the festival grounds just after 6pm to try and extinguish the flames and evacuate those inside.
No members of public were at the festival at the time but around 1,000 staff members were working at the site.
Around 400,000 festival goers from across the globe are expected to attend across two weekends.
But the fire has now raised fears that the entire event could be cancelled.
