Tomorrowland, the Belgian dance music festival which lost its main stage to a massive fire last week, went ahead as planned over the weekend, thanks to... Metallica.
Truly, saviours don’t come more unlikely than the thrash metal veterans. But with the main stage reduced to a smouldering cinder just hours before the festival was set to open on Friday, organisers brainstormed and asked if they could borrow Metallica’s stage, which just happened to be in storage in Austria. One phone call later and the stage was air-lifted to Belgium in time for Friday evening.
