The Burnt Remains Of The Tomorrowland Mainstage Have Been Demolished

One of the most inspiring stories in the dance music industry in recent years has come to an end, after months of sending a message. Tomorrowland‘s jawdropping mark in De Schorre Park this year — the burnt Mainstage’s remains — have finally been demolished and removed from the place, marking the culmination of a very special chapter in the history of electronic music.

By now, it’s no secret that this year’s Tomorrowland edition in Boom, Belgium, was marred by a devastating fire that completely consumed the Mainstage mere days before the festival began. And while luckily no one was hurt when it happened, months of planning and weeks of execution came to a sudden halt after the festival’s most important landmark disappeared in flames.

Yet, despite it all, Tomorrowland pulled an incredible turnaround, placing yet another mainstage in front of the burnt ruins of what was going to be the 2025 Mainstage, and the festival carried on with the complete opposite of grief: joy overfilled the grounds, and many claim this has been one of the best editions of the festival due to showing how empathy and unity reign aloft the electronic music crowd.

Once the two-weekend gathering ended, all stages and traces of it ever happening were removed, as per usual. Everything, but the gigantic burnt structure. An investigation was carried out, and in the meantime, the metal remains stood tall, as a reminder of what this year’s edition had been. And last week, the chapter was finally closed: The last piece of the Tomorrowland Mainstage, a skeletal remnant of metal, bowed to the power of the construction crew, captured in a brief, solemn online clip.

The burned remains of the Orbyz stage were finally demolished today, in Boom. Sad, but I’m sure next year will be even better!

Now that the last physical piece of evidence that such a rollercoaster of emotions ever happened, we’re lucky to have technology in our pockets, as videos from the 2025 Tomorrowland festival will continue to make the rounds online as a prime example of determination and inspiration to whoever seeks something so much, just like the crew behind the festival.
