A huge fire on Wednesday at Belgium's Tomorrowland music festival site has “severely damaged” the main stage two days before the event was due to start, organizers said.

Video showed thick plumes of black smoke rising from the famed festival grounds in Boom, Belgium on Wednesday. Fireworks could also be seen and heard going off in the distance.

A day before crowds were set to arrive for the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium, a fire broke out and severely damaged its iconic main stage. The incident occurred in the town of Boom, near Antwerp, just as final preparations were underway.
