A large stage at Tomorrowland Unite in Spain caught fire tonight local time, resulting in the mass evacuation of up to 22,000 festival goers that were attending the event.
The festival is a satellite event that is part of a global series happening alongside Belgium’s Tomorrowland, which is currently in the middle of hosting its second weekend in Belgium.
According to eye witnesses the fire erupted following a series of fireworks, although no official word has come out from the festival yet as to the causes of the fire. Social media accounts state that the fire engulfed the stage in a “matter of seconds” while others report hearing some explosions as the fire raged on.
At this moment there are no reports of injuries from the incident.
See videos of the fire below.
