Fire destroys Tomorrowland main stage as Boom Belgium Mayor weighs safety call

Mint17-07-2025
A massive fire ripped through Tomorrowland's main stage in Boom, Belgium, on July 16, reducing the festival centerpiece to ashes just one day before its opening. Flames and explosions, likely from pyrotechnics, sent smoke towering over the site, visible from Brussels 16 miles away. Though 1,000 staff were evacuated, no injuries occurred since attendees hadn't yet arrived.
According to NY Post, organizers confirmed the iconic "Orbyz"-themed stage, years in the making, was 'severely damaged'. Videos of the blaze spread rapidly online, showing fireworks erupting amid the chaos as hundreds of firefighters battled the flames.

Tomorrowland 2025: Ankush Bahuguna dazzles in lungi; impresses fans by redefining fashion

Ankush Bahuguna , the dazzling content creator and influencer, stepped out in a checkered blue lungi – and claimed his iconic moment, dropping all the traditional-radical fashion along the way. With a smile on his face and style in his attire, the 32-year-old trailblazer visited Tomorrowland 2025. Ankush Bahuguna and his iconic fit Sharing the pictures and videos on his Instagram handle, Bahuguna dropped the aesthetics. With an oversized t-shirt that read 'Wear your opinion on your sleeve. So that you can be identified by your clothes,' Ankush donned a blue and black traditional lungi at the electronic dance music festival. He accessorised the outfit with a pair of white sneakers and a pair of black socks, along with the exquisite eye make-up of gems and blue glitter, and a not-so-minimalistic jewellery. Captioning the techno dump, he wrote, '@tomorrowland is a whole new world out there! Can't wait for Day 2 & 3 (if I still have feet by then)." While Bahuguna has won the hearts of the viewers for being unapologetic and exceptionally himself, the recent attire did not forget to leave an indelible mark.

Ankush Bahuguna Brings Desi Cool To Tomorrowland In A Checkered Lungi And Tee

Last Updated: Ditching the usual music festival glam, Ankush Bahuguna rocked the desi lungi with a white t-shirt at Tomorrowland. At Tomorrowland 2025, amidst a sea of neon, glitter, and techno beats, Indian content creator Ankush Bahuguna made a striking style statement that was as rooted as it was radical. Trading in conventional festival wear for a reimagined version of the lungi, Ankush served a look that was equal parts nostalgic, global, and unapologetically personal. Taking to his Instagram, Ankush Bahuguna shared a few pictures from Tomorrowland. The social media personality was seen letting his hair down and enjoying himself at the music festival. Dressed in a lungi and a statement t-shirt, he brought India with him on the global stage. Sharing the pictures, he wrote, '@tomorrowland is a whole new world out there! Can't wait for Day 2 & 3 (if I still have feet by then)." Take a look at the pictures here. Standing tall against the industrial backdrop of the iconic festival stage, Ankush wore a crisp white oversized HUEMN T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Wear your opinion on your sleeve." And he did exactly that, blending fashion with quiet activism, cultural storytelling, and sheer individuality. But it was the lower half that truly stole the show. Instead of shorts or cargo pants typical to festival fashion, Ankush wrapped a blue-and-teal checkered lungi around his waist, cinched and pleated to fall just below the knee. Styled with classic black socks and chunky white sneakers, the outfit radiated comfort while defying expectations. His accessories added depth: a bold silver chain, a red bracelet, and a few layered rings, and gave the look a curated edge. The visual contrast between his outfit and the mechanical architecture of Tomorrowland's stage setup created a powerful image: a desi boy grounded in his identity, boldly standing in one of the world's most celebrated multicultural spaces. What makes this look more than just 'cool" is its intent. Ankush didn't wear the lungi as a gimmick; he wore it as a statement of heritage. A reminder that fashion isn't always about newness, but about how you reinterpret the old. In a world obsessed with fast fashion and trends, this was a moment of rooted reinvention. Whether grooving to beats or pausing for a candid photo, Ankush's Tomorrowland look was proof that when you dress from a place of authenticity, you don't just wear fashion, you move it forward. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
