Tomorrowland 2025 New Mainstage Plans After Devastating Fire, 70 Meters Wide, No Fireworks

Following the unexpected fire that destroyed Tomorrowland’s iconic main stage, the festival is racing against time to rebuild and reinvent its most symbolic structure. The new main stage will be significantly smaller, but organizers promise it will still deliver an unforgettable experience for tens of thousands of festivalgoers.

According to VRT News, the new stage will be 70 meters wide and 8 meters high, compared to the 160-meter-wide, 45-meter-high behemoth that was lost to the fire. Despite the scaled-down design, the rebuild is being treated with the same intensity and ambition.

“A team of 200 of us will start building a stage at 2 a.m. tonight that will also be impressive,” said Frank Verstraeten, former CEO of Zillion, whose company is providing the replacement stage.

The urgency is real: crews will begin construction immediately after the last remnants of the burned stage are cleared. With thousands of festivalgoers set to descend on Boom, Belgium, the stage has to be not only safe, but inspiring.

What will be missing from this year’s edition, however, is one of Tomorrowland’s signature elements: fireworks. Verstraeten confirmed, “There will be no fireworks. I’m sure of that.” No risks are to be taken at this point while the teams do their best to deliver the best possible edition given the current circumstances.

Despite the absence of pyrotechnics, the fact that this plan is in the making is already impressive. The new main stage may be more compact, but its emotional significance and the sheer logistical feat of rebuilding it overnight after the fire are sure to add a layer of magic and resilience to this year’s Tomorrowland.
