FANS ARRIVE TO KEEP SPIRIT ALIVE

Despite the fire, around 40,000 people were expected to stay at the festival’s DreamVille campsite on Thursday night.

“It was so sad, we almost cried, it was horrible,” said Marie, a festival-goer arriving with her rucksack and camping gear. “But we’re glad it’s still happening. We’re in the mood, and Tomorrowland is a big family.”

Several chartered planes carrying attendees had already landed in Belgium, and welcome events in Brussels and Antwerp were proceeding as planned.

“There’s no main stage, but it’s better than nothing,” said Giulio, who had travelled from Italy with a group of friends.

CAUSES UNDER INVESTIGATION

The cause of the fire remains unclear. Witnesses said they heard fireworks, possibly part of a test run, moments before the blaze began.

The Antwerp public prosecutor’s office said it has launched an investigation into the incident as an accidental fire.

Founded 20 years ago by two Flemish brothers in a country that helped pioneer electronic music, Tomorrowland has grown into one of the world’s largest and most recognised dance music festivals.

The festival will relocate to Brazil in October, with a winter edition also held annually in Alpe d’Huez, France.
