D-Block Europe review: Hip-hop act turns Marquee into Cork club night
It was a semblance of a club night at Live at the Marquee on Tuesday as thousands descended onto the Marina to welcome one half of D-Block Europe to the Cork City stage. What is the only hip-hop act of a long line of big top acts, Young Adz performed some of the London-based duo's top hit singles without Dirtbike LB. Their song Prada was also nominated for a Brit award for Song of the Year last year. D-Block Europe or DBE have been around since 2010, after signing a deal with New York rapper Jadakiss. They have slowly been growing in prominence with a younger crowd. D-Block Europe delight fans at Live at the Marquee on Tuesday night. Picture Chani Anderson. D-Block Europe have since raked in some 5bn streams across various global platforms and are known for creating catchy tunes using Autotune and trap beats about sex, drug dealing, and owning luxury items. Their Live at the Marquee concert is the latest in their tour, which has seen a surprise sell-out of both nights. A trove of young teenagers dominated the audience as they snaked their way into the blue and yellow tent under pouring rain and floods. Neon coloured dresses of pink and orange exploded at the venue; knee high boots and tan limbs were exposed as sweaty bodies jumped up and down under the tent. Young lads in tracksuits and hats of various colours eagerly made their way to find the best spot in the standing area, ready to launch themselves into one of the many mosh pits that would maybe open. Concert goers make a dash for the tent during a torrential downpour before the D-Block Europe gig at Live at the Marquee on Tuesday night. Picture: Chani Anderson Special guest Kairo Keyz opened for the duo. He was well-liked by the crowd as the deep bass from his tunes hyped and readied the audience for the big act. Screens of Snapchat recording stuck out across the pit as the DJ for the night hyped the crowd ahead of DBE's set. Young Adz arrived on stage shortly after 9.30pm and performed to the crowd with magnetic energy who were ready to party. Strobe lights of white, blue, and green dancing in the air as the deep bass of their songs echoes across the tent. "You alright, Cork?", Young Adz said after performing their opening tune Darling as he apologised to say that DBE's other half, Dirtbike LB, was not here. This was very similar to their last Irish performance where Young Adz was visibly absent from Longitude's main stage last year.

Powering through most of the set list, Young Adz gave it his all to get the crowd into a momentum, while blaring some familiar favourites including Prada, Ferrari Horses, and Pakistan. DBE will return for a second night at the Marquee on Wednesday with the question of whether it will once again be a one man show or a duo. Kingfishr will then return for another sold-out night on Thursday. Summer gigs at the big top will then conclude this weekend with three nights of Michael McIntyre and his new show MACNIFICENT!

Shock and sadness as Tomorrowland music festival opens after fire destroys stage
Shocked, sad but determined to dance, tens of thousands of electronic music enthusiasts have started to arrive at Tomorrowland in Belgium, a day after the festival's main stage went up in flames. Organisers said the world-famous event, which was expected to draw 400,000 people over two weekends, would go ahead after the massive blaze was put out. The festival counts on 15 other stages spread over 34 hectares of land in Boom, in northern Belgium, which were not affected by the fire. But its main stage, due to host dozens of DJs including the likes of David Guetta, Lost Frequencies and Steve Aoki, "is no more" organisers said. "It's impossible to put into words what we're feeling," they said in a statement. "We spent the night working on possible solutions." Images of the blaze circulated widely on social media, showing flames tearing apart the impressive set design depicting a frozen fairytale kingdom, with a giant ice-covered lion, castles and snow peaks. All that remained of the 160 metres wide and 45 metres high set up on Thursday was the charred scaffolding. "This is heartbreaking", Belgian DJ Charlotte de Witte wrote to her almost four million followers on Instagram. 'We almost cried' About 40,000 people were expected to spend the festival's first night at the "DreamVille" campsite. "It was so sad, we almost cried, it was horrible," Marie, a festival-goer who gave only her first name, said as she arrived on site with her rucksack and camping equipment. "But we're glad it's still happening, we're in the mood, and Tomorrowland is a big family." Several of the planes chartered for the event have already landed in Belgium, and events planned in Brussels and Antwerp to welcome visitors from all over the world were going ahead as planned. "There's no main stage, but it's better than nothing," said Giulio, who travelled from Italy with a small group of friends. The causes of the blaze were not yet clear. Some witnesses said they heard fireworks, possibly launched as a test, going off around the time the fire broke out. The Antwerp public prosecutor's office said yesterday it has opened an accidental fire investigation. Founded 20 years ago by two Flemish brothers in a country that pioneered the genre, Tomorrowland has become one of the world's largest electronic music festivals. The festival relocates to Brazil in October, and a winter edition is held every year in the Alpe d'Huez ski resort in France.

Tomorrowland main stage destroyed by fire days before festival due to start
Footage showed flames engulfing the festival's huge main stage, sending thick black smoke into the air over the town of Boom, which sits between Antwerp and Brussels. 'Due to a serious incident and fire on the Tomorrowland Mainstage, our beloved Mainstage has been severely damaged,' the festival confirmed on its social media accounts. 'We can confirm that no one was injured during the incident.' The festival explained that its campsite will open as planned on Thursday and said it was working towards solutions for when music begins at the site at the weekend. 'We can announce that DreamVille will open tomorrow as planned and will be ready for all DreamVille visitors,' the statement added. 'All Global Journey activities in Brussels and Antwerp will take place as planned. We are focused on finding solutions for the festival weekend.' Over 400,000 people are expected to visit Tomorrowland over the next two weekends. The festival, known for its eccentric themes, had been designed to resemble 'a magical universe made entirely out of ice,' according to Tomorrowland's website. Footage of the burning main stage showed props designed to look like icy towers being destroyed in the fire. Some of the world's most popular DJs were set to appear on the stage this weekend, including Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Fisher, Swedish House Mafia and Steve Aoki.
