OOF, (massive musical festival in Belgium) that's starting in a couple days just had a massive setback because their main stage (is burning / burned down)

Pictures from national news service here in Belgium www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2025/07/16/zware-brand-terrein-tomorrowland/

EDIT: see my reply in this thread for their official response. The festival is continuing but just without a main stage (somehow). They have side stages but probably not enough to accommodate that many people.
Picture when the fire was in the early stages, started on the left and only about 1/10 was on fire
Image was taken later and about 3/4 of the stage is brightly on fire. Several fire trucks are present but aren't actively spraying water (probably for a good reason)

@nellePoint it's not. They just announced two official channels that it's continuing somehow.
They have a variety of side stages but I don't think those can accommodate 200,000 people so I'm not sure exactly what they're going to do but they're going to continue anyway they said
