Thousands of dance music fans are enjoying the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium this weekend after heavy metal heroes Metallica stepped in to save the event from cancellation. The main stage for the huge EDM event in the town of Boom in Belgium's Antwerp province was decimated by fire this week, just days before the gates were due to open.

The main stage at the massively popular EDM festival Tomorrowland burned to the ground, but the festival will continue this weekend, organizers said.

The main stage at Tomorrowland, an electronic dance music festival in Boom, Belgium, has been destroyed in a major fire. It became rapidly engulfed in flames on Wednesday, July 16, as seen in footage shared by Belgian news station VRT NWS.
