Tomorowland Festival is held every year. It is expected that this year’s event will welcome about 400,000 people during the weekends from July 18 to 20 and July 25 to 27.
Two days before the opening of this year’s festival, a fire severely damaged the main stage and doubts about whether it will continue to move forward. However, the site is open on time and the alternative phase is still under construction. The stage is open to the public in two hours, organizers said.
