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.

Meet the Wags of The Open 2025… from ‘Hottest Female Athlete' to bodybuilder-turned-doctor & Adam Sandler's co-star
THERE'S a whopping £2.3million prize at stake for the victor of this year's British Open - but you could argue most of the golfers have already won big off the green. Because cheering the talented sportsmen on are a bevvy of bikini-loving beauty queens, superstar sportswomen and brainbox business titans. 25 Lilia Schneider says she overcame 'hating my body' with bikini snaps online Credit: Instagram/lilia_schneider 25 Reigning British Open champ Xander Schauffele with wife Maya Credit: Getty 25 Nikki Guidish used to model clothes for a US shopping channel Among them is defending champion She may well be his lucky charm because the healthcare administrator's support saw him win the PGA Championship and British Open last year. Maya, who married Xander in 2021, admitted she had never watched golf before meeting the US sportsman and has only recently 'gotten the lingo down'. Other big swingers including Brit favourite Rory McIlory, READ MORE FEATURES From a Maxim Hot 100 stunner to an ex-bodybuilder who became a doctor and a one-hit-wonder singer, we reveal this year's British Open WAGs. Allison Stokke American At one point she was ranked second in the state and nation, but narrowly missed a spot at the London 2012 Olympics. Allison, 36, put her career on hold after meeting Rickie, who she married in 2019 after two years of dating, to have their daughters, Maya and Nellie. Most read in Golf Now a sports influencer who has modelled for Nike, GoPro and Athleta, she's still turning heads on the green. Back in 2007 she was described as 'a sex symbol against her will' when a photo of her competing in New York went viral.

The furore sparked think pieces in the Washington Post, The New York and Los Angeles Times, and was reported on by the BBC and Australia's Sydney Morning Herald. Allison, later a Maxim Hot 100 star and named Hottest Female Athlete by Men's Health in 2011, said the fetishisation was 'creepy and a little scary', 'really demeaning' and overshadowed her sports career.

She's the rumoured girlfriend of Bryson DeChambeau, 31, who she's been linked to since the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Series when they were snapped snuggling up in a golf cart. Michigan-born Lilia, 22, who's just finished her second year at Marian University in Indianapolis, has an impressive social media following. She has nearly 60,000 followers on Instagram and 150,000 on TikTok, lured by her golf coaching videos and streams of stunning bikini shots.

Paige, 32, has featured in Sports Illustrated, was named Maxim's 'Sexiest Woman Alive' in 2022, is an ambassador and major shareholder for a betting firm. She even launched a site titled OnlyPaige - which features saucy snaps, golf coaching videos, livestreams and vlogs - something not too dissimilar from what Lilia's doing now.

It was his first win but he was so 'very confident' he would claim his first majors win that he got her to change her flight so she didn't miss his game. Justin, 32, recalled telling his then girlfriend of a year: 'I don't want you to miss this and I feel like I'm going to get it done.' Jillian is a journalism graduate who works for a major advertising firm but is likely on maternity leave, after giving birth to daughter Molly late last year. She's part of a 'great support network' that nursed Justin back to health from a 'pretty bad space mentally' back in 2021. The couple married a year later.

She's also famed for her bikini-clad bit-parts in films including the Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups 2, the 2009 remake of Fame, and Gary Oldman hit Guns, Girls and Gambling. Paulina has forged a successful career and doesn't regret choosing fame over college, despite her father spending a fortune to send her to one of America's best all-female prep schools. She admits her first night out with future hubby Dustin in 2013 wasn't overly romantic, adding: 'I don't know if you can call it a date since my dad tagged along.' Within a year they were engaged and eventually tied the knot in 2022. They share two sons Tatum, 10, and River, seven. When asked why their nuptials took nearly a decade, she said: 'This guy has no downtime. The stresses from getting everything ready for a wedding would take over mine and his life and what I needed to be was his teammate.'

Erica Stoll 25 Rory McIlroy U-turned on his decision to divorce wife Erica Stoll Credit: Getty Erica Stoll has stood by her man The Northern Irishman, 36, retracted his decision within a month and recalled the moment as a 'a wake-up call' where he decided: 'Let's just focus on the golf for a little bit.' He's been in a relationship with Erica since 2014 - two years after first locking eyes at the famous 2012 Ryder Cup while she was working as a PGA employee. She came to his rescue during that tournament by arranging a police escort for him when he overslept, due to a timezone mix-up, and risked missing tee time. That Ryder Cup became renowned for the 'Miracle at Midinah' and saw McIlroy's team Europe make the comeback of a lifetime, clawing back a victory after being 10-6 down on the final day of play. The couple, who married in 2017, share daughter Poppy, four. During his time away from Erica, 37, last year, Rory said he realised 'our best future was as a family together'.
